Flight Operations Support and Training Standards - Aircraft Performance Engineers
Toulouse, 5-6-7 June 2018

Biography
Nathanaël Demiguel started at Airbus in 2007. He works 2 years on A380 final assembly line from the first assembly up to the
first flight station. Then he continues his studies and was 2 years on the flight test department. He completed his engineering
studies on the customer support flight operations Aircraft Performance department. Now he is in charge of the high speed
performance module, supports Services with Navblue and provides training and support for airlines
Vincent MARTY has over 10 years’ experience at the Airbus Design Office mainly working on aircraft performance model for
high speeds computations.
For 4 years now, he has moved from aircraft manufacturing to Customer Support division as a Flight Operations Engineer.
Still in Aircraft performance context, He is now in charge to give Airline Support, Services with Navblue and Training on
Performance monitoring, High Speeds optimization, Route study and ETOPS.

GtG fuel efficiency evolution
• A350 and A330NEO will be published in a later version.
Future update
Which benefit do you expect from new GtG?
• Airbus will provide figures related to given
scenario in kg of fuel.
• A320NEO, A380 will be considered
End 2018

Now • Gathering customer needs
WHAT is Getting to Grips - GtG?
Getting to Grips provides general information and guidelines for airline awareness
regarding a technical domain.
Let’s consider for instance the takeoff performance:

- Toulouse figures
HOW GtG should be used?
GtG provide figures based on assumptions:
• Adjust assumptions to your operations & use performance software (PEP)
PEP tool available in your Flight operations department
GtG provide a global overview:

Are you familiar
• All fields where optimization can be with
done PEP?
are considered
 Carefully considers the priority of each field
+ Airbus communications through events:

- Fuel efficiency
- Flight Operations & training symposium
- Regional seminar
- …
In-flight:
- Real Aircraft operations
WHEN? - Route changing
Flight preparation:
- Operational Strategy Post flight:
(scheduled, Optimum route…) - Data analysis
- Airline policy (Procedure) - Adjust strategy
Iterative

• Update single unified dossier to amend Task Details and identification for SA Family and LR family.
Proposed next steps

• Update unified dossier to include additional projects A350 and A380 and new variants SAneo.and A330neo.
• Requires input from Airbus Loads department regarding forecast fuel saving
Proposed future steps.

• Update dossier to include tasks from AMM that have been identified as candidates for fuel saving in all projects.
• Requires input from Airbus Loads department regarding forecast fuel saving
