Abstract

A method for determining the "Out," "Off,". "On," and "In" (OOOI) times for an aircraft, based on parametric data sampled in the aircraft. "Out" means out of the gate, "Off" means off the ground, "On" means on the ground, and "In" means in at the gate. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), brake pressure, magnetic heading, ground speed, flight number and flight leg, engine start/stop, and air/ground switch are currently available parameters that can be sampled and presented to determine the OOOI times for a given flight and this data downloaded.
