On Demand Data Analysis and Filtering for Inaccurate Flight Trajectories

This paper reports on work performed in the context of the COMPASS SESAR-JU WP-E project, on developing an approach for identifying and filtering inaccurate trajectories (ghost flights) in historical data originating from the EUROCONTROLoperated Demand Data Repository (DDR). Foreword—This paper describes a project that is part of SESAR Workpackage E, which is addressing long-term and innovative research. The project was started early 2011 so this description is limited to an outline of the project objectives augmented by some early findings.
