What is BADA?
BADA - Base of Aircraft DAta
is an Aircraft Performance Model (APM) developed and maintained by
EUROCONTROL through active cooperation with aircraft manufacturers and operating
airlines.
BADA provides a/c performance and operations models suitable for:
trajectory simulation in the air traffic modelling and simulation tools which are used to
support R&D, validation and assessment of new ATM concepts, ATC procedures,
advanced controller decision support tools and equipment before they are introduced
into operational service;
trajectory prediction in the ground based operational ATM systems (Flight Data
Processing Systems) to better plan traffic flows, reduce delays, operating costs and
minimize adverse environmental impact, and
environmental studies in terms of aircraft emissions assessments.

BADA 3 family
BADA model families
BADA 4 family
Today’s standard for aircraft performance modelling providing close to 100% coverage of aircraft types in the ECAC area. Its objectives are to model aircraft behaviour over nominal part of flight envelope and to meet today's requirements for aircraft performance modelling and simulation.
Newly developed model family covers 70% of aircraft types in the
ECAC area. It provides increased levels of precision in aircraft
performances parameters over the entire flight envelope to enable
modelling and simulation of advanced systems and future concepts.

BADA 3.13 includes aircraft models for 519 different aircraft
types.
194 native models
developed using reference aircraft performance data sources
originating from aircraft manufacturers
325 synonym models
These aircraft types have been identified as being ‘equivalent’ to
native aircraft models.
Native models represent around 95%, while the synonym
aircraft occupy a further 5% share of the total European traffic.
