  3. Data/Products are Relevant through their Enhancement of the Decision Lifecycle • Successful implementations require firm grounds in the airline’s business case; a better x/y/z product in and of itself is generally not sufficient • Horizontal consistency in weather and aerospace depiction is highly valued • Net-Centric – Yes • Decision-Centric – A Must

  4. Industry will benefit from the consolidation of data and interfaces in NextGen • Data/Product consistency promotes FAA and NAS user decision consistency and more predictable contingency measures • Putting aside stovepipe data access and display promotes real advancements in M2M interactions and trust thereof • Collaborative Decision Making • Involves Airline/Vendor Sources

  5. The same patterns of federation between the NWS and the FAA are applicable for an industry consumer/producer interface • Data restriction policy must be inherent in the cube user provisioning • Controlled transparency between FAA and NAS stakeholders • Can be accomplished through proposed standards in their transactional forms • e.g. W*S-T and ebXML • Federation Opportunity Across Industry – Cloud Sourcing WSI Aviation Weather Center WSI Weather Processing and Forecasting Global National Meteorological Service Data WSI Data Cube (Skybase) • FAA/NWS Cube • Reg/Rep • Data Access Proprietary and Specialized Source Data Federation FAA Decision Support Application WSI Applications

  6. The WSI’s of the world establish our business on making NWS, international NMSs/ANSPs, and proprietary weather data/products relevant to an airline’s operations • Akin to the process of consuming weather data into ATC/ATM systems in the FAA • Key attributes of these data and products are their consistency across the enterprise both in depiction and it’s use in decisions through translation • Airline meteorological expertise is relevant to planning and real time support • FAA benefits through CDM and M2M Cube inclusion • Commercial Airline System Providers in NextGen
