Flight altitude control device, flight altitude control method and program

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a transmission opportunity from an aircraft, improve throughput, shorten communication time as well as flight time, and reduce the fuel consumption or battery consumption of the aircraft.SOLUTION: A flight altitude control device controls the flight altitude of an aircraft equipped with a radio communication device. The device comprises: a radio quality measurement part 1 for measuring the quality of a channel used in radio communication that is performed between the radio communication device equipped in the aircraft and a radio communication device on the ground; and a flight altitude determination part 3 for determining whether or not a transmission opportunity of the radio communication device equipped in the aircraft can be obtained and determining the flight altitude of the aircraft, in which the transmission opportunity can be obtained, based on the measured quality of the channel. Thereby, the device makes the aircraft fly at the determined altitude.
