Requirements

This library does not provide the necessary Data-Files from EUROCONTROL. They need to be obtained seperately.

Usage

Loading Airplanes

First we need to create and load the information of the specific airplane type provided by the EUROCONTROL dataset.

import badapy as bd
B373 = bd.Airplane('B373', 'Boeing B737-300')
B373.load_information('data/OPF/')  # Eurocontrol Data location

Running fuel calculations

Based on the previously loaded airplane data, the individual flights can be created.

flight_1 = bd.Flight('D743', '666', B737)
flight_1.load_flightdata("/data/flightdata.csv")  # Path to file with flight data
flight_1.calculate_fuel()
