On-Line Data Interchange
First implementation steps taken
OLDI - this acronym stands for On-Line Data Interchange,a standard that was developed by Eurocontrol in the early 1990s. It is to ensure that the flight plan data and flight plan messages which are exchanged electronically by the control centres are always up-to-date. A task which may sound easy but is very complex as the actual flight progress often deviates from the original flight plan. This requires timely coordination which is ensured by standardised OLDI messages. Over the years, Eurocontrol has developed 40 of these messages. However, only a few of them are actually used in daily operations. A FABEC task force has examined how this potential could be put to a better use.
