RJ85 remodelling
Description of Modification:
The BADA model for the Avro RJ85 aircraft type has been redeveloped.
Reason for Modification:
Based on comparisons of computed profiles against radar data, important deviations in rate of climb have been identified for the RJ85. The analysis showed that time data is rounded to the minute in the reference trajectory data used to create the model, which is not appropriate for accurate modelling. To improve the quality of the model, time data have been resampled for all trajectories and the RJ85 model has been completely redeveloped using these new data.

TRIN remodelling
Description of Modification:
The BADA model for the SOCATA Trinidad aircraft type has been redeveloped. This new model is based on the SOCATA TB21 Trinidad aircraft, whereas the old one was based on the SOCATA TB20 Trinidad (both aircraft share the same ICAO designator TRIN). The main differences between TB20/TB21 characteristics are: engine (IO-540-C4D5D/TIO-540-AB1AD, the latter being turbocharged), maximum altitude (20000ft/25000ft), empty weight (800kg/844kg).
Reason for Modification:
Following several problem reports concerning the TRIN model (ex: erroneous rates of descent for low mass values, unexpected order of magnitude for one drag coefficient, operational reports of TRIN a/c flying higher than FL200), a new model has been developed.

Incorrect buffet coefficients and gradients in some models
Description of Modification:
The following models have been partly remodelled: A320, C550, C560, F900.
Reason for Modification:
- The buffet parameters (Clbo and k) had incorrect values in the A320, C550, C560 and F900 models.
- The temperature and mass gradients for C560 had a wrong order of magnitude.
- Another minor error was found in the input data for C560 (one point in one trajectory).

Incorrect stall speeds in some models
Description of Modification:
The stall speeds have been corrected in the following models: A346, A388.
Reason for Modification:
The stall speeds provided for the aircraft models A346 and A388 were not correct: the values in the OPF files were in fact minimum speeds, and should be divided by 1.3 to get the correct stall speeds. This affects all configurations provided for those 2 models.

Incorrect maximum payload value in some models
Description of Modification:
The maximum payload value has been corrected in the following models: B763, PA34, T134.
Reason for Modification:
- In BADA 3.7, the max payload value for the B763 model had unexpectedly reverted to the value used in BADA 3.1.
- In BADA 3.7, the max payload value for the T134 model had unexpectedly changed from 8000 kg to 800 kg.
- The max payload value for the PA34 model (573 kg) was higher than the difference between minimum (1600 kg) and maximum (2072 kg) mass.

BADA-3.8-CHANGE-17
Incorrect cruise Mach in BE58 airline procedure file
Description of Modification:
The cruise Mach has been changed from 0.25 to 0.32 in the BE58 airline procedure file.
Reason for Modification:
The Mach number proposed in the BE58 cruise speed schedule was too low: when associated to the proposed CAS value of 164 kt, it would lead to a crossover altitude around 1000 ft, which was not realistic.

Miscellaneous errors in SYNONYM.LST
Description of Modification:
Two errors have been fixed in the SYNONYM.LST file:
- "H25B__" has been replaced by "H25A__".
- IL76 has been removed from the synonyms of model A30B and replaced by IL62.
Reason for Modification:
- There was an error in the linking: aircraft code H25B was referring to file H25A which no longer exists.
- IL62 was missing and IL76 occured twice instead throughout the file.

Revision of synonym aircraft types
Description of Modification:
All synonym aircraft have been re-evaluated and some added or reassigned.
The added synonyms are: B748, B74R, BE9T, C25A, C25B, C404, C680, CL30, COL4, E121, E50P, E55P, G150, GL5T, GLST, LJ40, P46T, PA30, PRM1, RFAL, SR22, T160, TBM8.
No synonyms were removed in the making of this release.
More details about the choice of synonyms that was made are provided in [RD3].
Reason for Modification:
This revision is two fold: it allows for the addition of new synonym aircraft since BADA 3.7, and also a general reevaluation of all previously assigned aircraft with the aid of a tool (BADA Synonym Search Tool) to account for the addition of the new BADA models in the new release.

Fuel flow in approach and landing configuration
Description of Modification:
All PTF and PTD files have been regenerated to be in line with the reference BADA implementation.
Reason for Modification:
The reference BADA implementation that is used to generate the PTF/PTD files has been slightly modified to fully comply with the clarified formula for fuel flow computation in the approach and landing phases, described in section 3.9.1 of [RD1].
Files Affected:
All PTF and PTD files were modified

Erroneous values for approach/landing thrust in some PTF/PTD files
Description of Modification:
The PTF and PTD files have been modified for several aircraft models to fix incorrect values in the approach and landing phases.
Reason for Modification:
For some aircraft, descent thrust values were not correctly calculated for approach and landing phases during the PTF/PTD files generation. This implies that some other values depending on the thrust, such as the rate of descent, were not correctly calculated either.

Slight change of descent transition altitude and approach-landing thresholds in some PTF/PTD files
Description of Modification:
The PTF and PTD files have been modified for several aircraft models to account for a fix in the BADA implementation used to generate the PTF and PTD files.
Reason for Modification:
Two small rounding problems have been fixed in the BADA implementation used to generate the PTF and PTD files:
- A descent transition altitude case was included in the descent low thrust computation case.
- A boundary CAS case between the approach and landing phases was included in the approach phase.

BADA-3.8-CHANGE-23
Missing indicator of the BADA version
Description of Modification:
The ReleaseSummary file has been reintroduced, in a simplified form: for each BADA file, only the last BADA release where a change occurred to this file is now indicated.
Reason for Modification:
Some users requested a mean to identify the BADA version that is currently present in their system once it has been extracted from the archive file available in BSA, and proposed that the ReleaseSummary file that was discarded in BADA 3.7 be reintroduced.
Regarding the potential use of such a file for automated version checking in software, or similar purposes, we would like to emphasize however that this release summary is a static file which only describes the untouched BADA release it came bundled with: if some of the aircraft model files have been modified in the user’s local environment, the ReleaseSummary file will no longer be valid, and information based on it may not reflect the real state of the BADA files currently present in this environment.
Files Affected:

BADA-3.8 -CHANGE-24
Unexpected “creation date” information in some files
Description of Modification:
The creation date has been fixed in the header of several files.
Reason for Modification:
- The creation date for the A343 OPF file was "qwe", instead of "Apr 30 2002".
- Several other files have their creation day displayed on 1 character instead of 2: this was not really an error, since those are comment lines and thus not subject to a format specification, but it has been fixed anyway for consistency.

Revision Summary Document for the Base of Aircraft Data (BADA) Revision 3.8 EUROCONTROL
Project BADA – EEC Technical/Scientific Report No. 2010/004 29
BADA-3.8-CHANGE-25
Documentation updates
Description of Modification:
The following changes have been made to the aircraft performance model algorithms described in the User Manual [RD1]:
- Introduction of a new revised atmosphere model with corresponding updates throughout the document
- Harmonisation of acronyms for physical constants with the “Revision of Atmosphere Model in BADA Aircraft Performance Model” document [RD4]
- Addition of the speed schedule in cruise for piston aircraft (section 4.2)
- Further clarification of the computation of fuel flow for jet and turboprop aircraft in approach and landing configurations (section 3.9.1)
- Additional information on whether some BADA model coefficients may or may not be negative
- Additional explanatory note on data presented in the PTF file
- Correction in the solution for buffeting limit algorithm.
Those changes are susceptible to require modifications in BADA software implementations to ensure their conformance to the aircraft performance model of BADA Revision 3.8.
Reason for Modification:
Those changes were prompted by several user requests for clarifications.
Files Affected:
BADA User Manual modified.
