1
Establish network connection
Confirmation of initial system attach within
network coverage.
2
End-to-end device connection
Verification of data connection from onboard
user device and internet access.
6.3.1 Flight Test Planning
It is recommended that prior to commencing flight testing, the Installer consult with
Wireless Systems Solutions to determine the most suitable flight path to ensure
network coverage during testing.
A flight plan should be optimized to provide the aircraft with operation within the
available WSS network coverage to establish a connection, provide time in flight to
perform end user device testing and allow enough maneuverability to validate a
continuous connection throughout the flight per the following sections.
1. The WSS network has been optimized for operation above 10,000 feet. The
flight plan should ensure that all testing is conducted above this altitude to
assure optimal operation.
2. The flight plan should plan for a circular or box flight plan to permit a full 360-
degree rotation of the aircraft, in either direction, within the defined coverage
area to demonstrate connectivity during any aircraft heading. Turns should
be made within normal operational parameters.
6.3.2 Flight Test Execution
6.3.2.1 System Attach to Network
This section provides guidance on steps to validate an initial network connection
(attach) once the aircraft flies into network coverage.
1. Prior to takeoff, confirm that the system is powered and ground test procedures
have been completed.
2. Ensure that the cabin device intended to validate operation is connected to the
system and is operational.
3. Once the aircraft is airborne, navigate to the defined waypoint for the start of
testing, confirming that the aircraft has reached the minimum altitude for the test
of 10,000 ft.
4. The system will automatically attach to the network once the aircraft enters
coverage.
5. From the connected device, confirm the link has been established by validating
that the device Wi-Fi connection has transitioned from indicating No Internet to
Internet Access
