 ABSTRACT

A Flight Management System (FMS) is a vital software application used in

aviation to plan, monitor, and manage flight operations. The system integrates
various aspects of flight management, such as flight planning, route optimization,
fuel management, and scheduling, to improve operational efficiency and ensure
safety. By leveraging databases to store and manage crucial information, an FMS
simplifies complex flight operations and enhances the ability to make informed
decisions in real-time.

In this implementation, MySQL, a widely used relational database management

system (RDBMS), is utilized to manage and store the data required for flight
operations. MySQL serves as the backbone for storing essential data such as flight
schedules, crew assignments, aircraft details, maintenance records, and flight
performance metrics. This allows for easy retrieval, updating, and reporting of data
necessary for managing flights efficiently.

 OBJECTIVES

Key functionalities of an FMS in MySQL include:

1. Flight Scheduling: The system allows airlines to schedule flights, taking

into account aircraft availability, crew shifts, and airport regulations. The
MySQL database stores flight details such as departure and arrival times,
flight numbers, and passenger counts.
2. Aircraft Data Management: Information about aircraft performance, fuel
consumption, and maintenance records are stored in relational tables. The
system ensures that this data is regularly updated and linked to flight records
for maintenance alerts and performance analysis.
3. Route and Flight Plan Optimization: By integrating external APIs or using
pre-existing data, the system can store information about optimal flight
paths, air traffic regulations, and weather conditions to assist in planning the
most efficient routes.
4. Fuel Management: The MySQL database stores fuel consumption data for
each flight, helping to optimize fuel usage based on aircraft load, route, and
weather conditions.
5. Real-Time Updates and Reporting: The system provides real-time
tracking and status updates, including delays, cancellations, and changes in
flight plans. Reports and analytics are generated by querying the MySQL
database, helping airline operators monitor performance and make data-
driven decisions.
6. Security and Access Control: MySQL supports user
authentication and access control, ensuring that sensitive flight and
passenger information is protected and only accessible to
authorized personnel.
