Title: Analysis of Flight Routes and Hints for Passengers – The Trip Emission Ecolabel Authors: Rösing, Christian Abstract: Purpose - This project calculates Trip Emission Ecolabels (TEE) based on fuel performance, equivalent CO2, local noise level and local air pollution with NOx. As such, flight routes to different destinations (domestic, short-, middle- and long-distance) can be compared. Passengers obtain hints for selecting a flight option for minimum environmental impact. --- Methodology - The TEEs for flight connections are calculated with an Excel tool. Considered are the distance of the flight and aircraft performance parameters from a database depending on aircraft and engine model and cabin layout. --- Findings - Flight booking engines consider today at best CO2 emissions, but not the whole environmental impact of a flight. The fastest, shortest or cheapest flight may not be the flight with the least environmental impact. For an evaluation of the trip, both the flight routing and the aircraft environmental performance per passenger is important. --- Research Limitations - The available data for turboprop engines does not contain information about nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted by the engine. Therefore, turboprop aircraft are not taken into account in this report. Due to the many available flight connections and combinations, this report can only work with selected examples. --- Practical Implications - The applied method allows calculating and comparing the environmental impact of a trip with a combination of different stopovers and aircraft. Today, flight options have to be extracted from flight booking engines and have to be processed offline. In the future these calculations can be offered to passengers directly by flight booking engines. Furthermore, also airlines could calculate and decide on the aircraft, engine, cabin layout and routing, to offer environmentally beneficial flight connections. --- Social Implications - The environmental impact of different trips can be made more transparent and can therefore be discussed in public. --- Originality - This project is an addition to previous research and the first one to use the existing TEE method to this extent.

Title: The 50 Most Important Parameters of the 60 Most Used Passenger Aircraft Authors: Hirsch, Sebastian Abstract: Purpose – This project creates a database of more than 60 passenger aircraft types, which are most in use (based on in-service data from 2020). The aircraft are characterized by the most important 50 parameters. --- Methodology – Almost all parameters were retrieved from manufacturer's documents for airport and maintenance planning as well as from EASA and FAA type certificate data sheets. Numbers were uniformly converted to SI units or aviation units (nautical mile, knot, feet / flight level). --- Findings – In 2020 many aircraft were in storage, but got also considered here. The Boeing 737-800 and the A320ceo account already for a 30% share of the market. With 60 aircraft types more than 95% of existing passenger aircraft are covered. The database contains general parameters, overall dimensions, parameters from the engine, cabin, fuselage, landing gear, wing and tail. In addition, fuel tank volume, mass, range, and parameters from cruise flight are available. --- Research Limitations – For aircraft still in development, certificate data sheets and manufacturer's data will be available only after certification. --- Practical Implications – The database is convenient for general use. It is available in Excel and HTML. The Excel table can be used to calculate further values and to easily add parameters. --- Originality – The well known database from Jenkinson et al. is from 2001. This new approach includes recent aircraft types and shows its data sources.

Title: „Hands-on Lab“ als Vortrags- und Lernformat - Der Trend zu aktivierenden Lernmethoden Authors: Voß, Anna Abstract: Seit einigen Jahren liegen aktivierende Lernmethoden immer mehr im Trend. Mit dem Bibliothekartag im Jahr 2017 wurde der Begriff „Hands-on Lab“ als Bezeichnung eines solchen Lernformats eingeführt. Dieser Artikel untersucht den Einsatz des Formats auf der BiblioCon 2024. Es werden Vorteile, Herausforderungen und Chan-cen auch für den Studienalltag beleuchtet.; Activating learning methods are becoming increasingly important. In the year 2017, the term “Hands-on Lab” was introduced as the name of such a learning format. This article examines the use of the format at the BiblioCon 2024. Advantages, challenges and opportunities for everyday study are also discussed.

Title: Flightradar24, ADS-B and Mode S Data for Aircraft Performance Analysis Authors: Jansen, Tim Maximilian Abstract: Automatic dependent surveillance broadcast, short ADS B, is used for surveillance purposes by air traffic control. Besides that, it is used by flight tracking services and also gains popularity among private users. In this project, different sources of aircraft and flight data are discussed. On the one hand, the data is provided by the flight tracking service Flightradar24. Different cases, each representing another possible aircraft performance or flight analysis, are presented and it is evaluated whether Flightradar24 data is suitable for this analysis. To demonstrate the value of Flightradar24 data, a study of initial cruise altitude and step climbs with 440 data sets of different aircraft types is conducted and the first findings are derived. On the other hand, a homebuilt receiver for ADS B and other Mode S data is used. The technology behind ADS B is presented and a decoding script for ADS B and Comm-B messages, based on the open source python library pyModeS, is developed. The potential of this data source is shown by analyzing flight data from an aircraft using the homebuilt set-up. The different sources are compared, and the results show that the data sources differ significantly in terms of the number of parameters, data rate, and coverage. Finally, a recommendation of data sources for different fields of application is proposed.
