Airport operations monitoring system
First Claim
1. An integrated system for monitoring operations, comprising:
- at least one data storage device that is operatively coupled to a network, said at least one data storage device comprising flight information data, gate information data, and ground equipment status data;
a controller operatively coupled to the network and operable to generate exception data associated with performance of ground equipment based on said ground equipment status data, said flight information data, and said gate information data; and
at least one user interface wherein a user may access said flight information data, said gate information data, said ground equipment status data, and said exception data.

Abstract
A system for monitoring aircraft/airport operations includes a controller operatively coupled to a network, a data storage device comprising flight information data that is operatively coupled to the network, a data storage device comprising gate information data that is operatively coupled to the network and at least one user interface wherein a user may access the flight information data and the gate information data. A method of monitoring airport operations includes accessing a single integrated system having access to flight information data and gate information data and monitoring at least one activity relating to airport operations based upon information accessed in the single integrated system.
