The Global Oceanic (GO) model is a fast time computer simulation tool developed jointly by Virginia Tech Air Transportation Systems Laboratory and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to evaluate new policies and procedures proposed to improve flight operations over global oceanic airspace. A critical phase in developing computer simulation models is validation. In this study, we use communication messages between pilots and air traffic controllers to validate the results of traffic simulations in the Pacific Ocean airspace. The messages dataset is derived from the Advanced Technology Oceanic Procedure (ATOP) system containing Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Addressable (ADS-A) messages in the Oakland Oceanic Center. The goal of this study is to validate three aspects of flight simulations including aircraft climb frequency, In-Trail Procedure (ITP) operations and deviations due to weather. Our study shows results comparing the simulation statistics and ATOP messages.
