TFMS Flight Data Mapping

1. Overview

TFMS Flight messages consumed from FAA SWIM are first sent to the TFMS Flight XML Parser. The parser takes the TFMS Flight messages received from SWIM and converts them into a simplified format known as 'TFMS Flight Transfer'. The benefit of this step is that the Flattened version of TFMS data only contains the fields relevant to the Fuser and STBO system. Once formatted in the TFMS Flight Transfer format, the message is sent to the Fuser. To see the mapping between the TFMS Flight Transfer format and the common Fuser format used in the Fuser database, refer to the Fuser Inputs Mapping.

2. TFMS Flight Format to TFMS Flight Transfer Mapping

Below is the mapping between TFMS Flight messages as the are received from FAA SWIM format and the TFMS Flight Transfer format. The first column is contains the names of the TFMS Flight Transfer attribute that the TFMS Flight SWIM messages are mapped into. The second column contains which TFMS Flight messages from SWIM which are used to source each TFMS Flight Transfer attribute. The third column contains the TFMS Flight data field in each message that is mapped to the TFMS Flight Transfer attribute. If the data field in the third column is not set, a second or third priority field may be used to set the value instead. The final two columns contain notes on the the data and how it is used.
