ICAO Indicator Workshop

Module 2: Data

Background:
You are the data analyst of Star Aviation, an airline in Iran operating a large fleet of aircraft. The fleet is
described in Table 1. The countries flown by the airline are listed in Table 2.

Star Aviation wants to analyze its data in order to monitor the health of its aircraft. As the data analyst at
Star Aviation, you are aware that in addition to your own organization, other organizations around the
world also collect a lot of data on your aircraft.

Before conducting the analysis, you need to identify those entities that have that data (i.e. the
stakeholders) and build an inventory of all the available data sources and datasets.

Instructions:
The data inventory should contain the following sections:

1) Stakeholders
By reviewing the composition of the fleet and the countries flown, identify the stakeholders
(manufacturers, States, ANSPs, aerodromes, etc.) that may have data on your aircraft.

2) Data source inventory

Fill out the attached Data Inventory form for each dataset.

3) Indicator
What indicator would you build for each data set? Propose at least one indicator for each data
set in the Data Inventory form.

Note 1: For guidance, two examples have already been provided in the form.

Note 2: For additional information and guidance, refer to the “Guidance on Completing the Data
Inventory Form” on the last page.

 GUIDANCE ON COMPLETING THE DATA INVENTORY FORM

1. Stakeholder: the entity that would have data on the airline’s aircraft; may include manufacturers,
States (CAAs), ANSPs, aerodromes, etc.

2. Data Name: the name assigned to the dataset.

3. Data Type: a data type is an attribute of data that determines the operations that can be done on the
data, the meaning of the data and the way values of that type can be stored. Most common data
types include numbers; characters (text); date; alphanumeric strings; booleans (true/false, yes/no or
0/1 formats).

4. Content Description: a brief yet clear description of what the dataset is and what it contains; e.g. the
list of accidents of the last 5 years.

5. Disaggregation level: the lowest level into which the data is broken down. The aviation system
element that each record or line of the dataset relates to; typically airline, aircraft, runway, etc.

6. Update frequency: the time period during which the data is refreshed or updated; e.g. daily, hourly,
real-time, etc.

7. Indicator: the metric or measure that the data set can help measure and monitor. For example,
accident data can help measure the number of accidents or accident rate.
