1.1. P.E.P for Windows
1.1.1. What is P.E.P. ?
The PEP for Windows working environment aims at providing the necessary tools to handle the performance aspects of flight preparation, but also to monitor aircraft performance after flight. It is dedicated to airlines’ Flight operations and design offices. Based on the Microsoft Windows . operating system, the PEP for Windows is a stand-alone application, which offers access to all the Airbus aircraft performance computation programs in a user friendly and customizable environment. In addition to an easy-to-use setup tool, useful tools like the “Airport Manager”, the “Batch manager” and the “On-line Help” have been implemented
1.1.1.1. Objectives
In order to better understand the main objectives of the PEP for Windows working environment we first need to recall that the previous working environment was based on the DOS operating system. Each performance calculation program had been developed separately from the others. This is why the main objectives of this working environment are : -To provide a working environment using the Microsoft Windows . operating
system for all Airbus performance computation programs. -To harmonize layout and behavior of all program interfaces. -To improve user-friendliness of these user interfaces. -To develop and introduce new tools in order to ease the handling and
management of data. -To improve access to Performance Programs documentation by the user thanks to an On-line Help.
Some of these objectives have been achieved through one of the PEP version 1 (16-bit for transition) and others through the PEP version 2 (32-bit).
1.1.1.2. Scope
The PEP for Windows working environment is applicable to all Airbus Performance Calculations. Calculation programs plugged into the PEP for Windows structure provide “low speed” and “high speed” performance for all A320 FAMILY, A300, A310, A330 and A340 Airbus aircraft types.
