In general EFRAS consists of three modules which work together: Pilot-Interface Calculation-module Database Calculation Program (Fortran 95) Performance Database Airport and Aircraft Database 5
EFRAS - Introduction The EFRAS-Program has been designed to: - provide standardized takeoff / landing weight calculation - allow the calculation of the highest possible TOW/LW for the respective conditions - automatically observe all required limitations - highest possible communality for different aircraft types - provide additional performance background information if required - give the pilot the highest possible authority in the selection of procedures - allow the implementation of restrictions for each individuell aircraft and runway - offer the possibility to present information to pilots depending on A/C & RWY - make use of all performance options offered by the manufacture programs - include MEL and CDL items - provide optimized calculation of runway shortening or additional obstacle 6
EFRAS 2.2 - Introduction TAKEOFF-MENU (standard) LANDING-MENU EFRAS Pilot Interface Version 2.2 provides different layouts with all relevant Information on one page. Pilots have the full authority to select settings and Conditions. 7
EFRAS 2.2 - Introduction Alternate TAKEOFF-MENU are available based on customer definition 8
EFRAS 2.2 - Introduction Generated by Condor Based on: - AIP - Topo-Charts - Jeppco-Charts - LIDO RM-Charts - ONC/TPC - Airport-Check - Notam Note: See Backup Information for more details Airport - Data Airport data are revised on a daily basis. Updates are provided to customer on a specially agreed schedule. Includes: - over 1400 airports Two options offered: - all airports provided - airline defined selection of airports 9
