Abstract

EUROCONTROL's Performance Review Commission launched the 2024 PRC Data Challenge in July 2024 with the aim of engaging with data scientists and aviation enthusiasts for the development of an open model to estimate an aircraft's take-off weight. The dataset for the challenge represents a unique instance of otherwise difficult-to-obtain flight information and could be reused for educational purposes or to further improve the outcome of the challenge.
