Actual Take-off Weight (ATOW) Data- Source: EUROCONTROL's Network Manager augmented with airline-provided take-off weight data- Airline information is anonymized with agreements for open data sharing- Total: 527,162 flights with complete weight information<br>2. Trajectory Data- Source: OpenSky Network ADS-B state vectors- Enhanced with meteorological data from Copernicus ERA5 via the fastmeto library- Time window: 5 minutes before actual off-block time to 30 minutes after arrival<br>

本数据集为欧洲空中航行安全组织（EUROCONTROL）绩效审查委员会（Performance Review Commission, PRC）2024年数据挑战赛打造，旨在邀请数据科学家与航空爱好者基于公开易得的数据源，开发用于估算飞机起飞重量的开源模型。

**概述**——本数据集收录了此前难以获取的独特航班信息集合，整合了以下三类内容：
- 航班基础信息（起讫机场、起降时刻、航空器型号）
- 来自OpenSky的广播式自动相关监视（ADS-B）轨迹数据
- 航空公司提供的实际起飞重量数据
本数据集涵盖2022年欧洲境内的527162架次航班，约占欧洲空中航行安全组织空域内总航班量的6.1%。
