Project initiatives: AirNet – Phase 1

United Airlines

CONDORBERLIN

Weather Link

Phase 1 Scope

Deploy on A319/320 Fleet.

EFBs, charts and manuals as planned.

Commodity weather data.

Wireless network to simulators

No wireless aircraft network.

No wireless ground network. Manual & chart updates are done via thumb drive update carried by pilots.

No integrated ground network providing information transfer or vendor visibility wirelessly to the aircraft.

Development of technical architecture.

What Now?

Keep it simple! – we can add laterKeep it functional! – need HFThis is not a science or R/D project anymoreEffective and efficient training – think out of the boxWhat to do with paper?Installations must start this year.
