EUROCONTROL recently hosted a webinar to build on last year’s FlyAI Report to showcase some of the activities utilising big data, machine learning and AI. Presenters represented Airbus, EUROCONTROL, EASA and IATA.
Airbus kicked off the discussion with the topic of Data Sharing for Artificial Intelligence and three programs that are underway related to this topic. The first is aimed at improving operations for A380s by sharing information between Airbus and airlines who are operating this aircraft. Machine learning and systems expertise are being combined in order to develop prognosis and health management. The second program is working to improve aviation operations. Cloud, big data, AI, data analytics, data governance and ontology work together to support Skywise Digital Services. One key outcome is related to predictive maintenance, as AI can identify abnormal behaviors faster than humans reviewing data. Th
