A Study of the Communication Capabilities of the OPARS Flight Planning System for Various Levels of Demand.

Abstract

Through the Optimum Path Aircraft Routing System (OPARS) Fleet Numerical Oceanography center (FNOC) has committed itself to providing a computerized flight planning service remotely accessible via dial-up communications lines. The question arises as to whether the proposed number of telephone lines will be adequate to provide a level of service previously provided by the Lockheed Jetplane system. This study provides a detailed analysis of the response delays for the OPARS flight plan system. In addition, estimates are given of communication requirements when various levels of demand prevail, and under conditions in which the FNOC computer is busy or idle. (Author)
