Claim 26:
27. A system for predicting a future scheduled event for an airplane operating on a surface of an airport occurs within a statistically derived time window, comprising:
an onboard component configured to:
control a plurality of sensors on the airplane, the plurality of sensors providing sensor data indicative of an operational state of the airplane on the surface and configured to receive the sensor data from the sensors,
determine a quality of the sensor data is above a threshold value, and
transmit the sensor data and an indication of the quality of the sensor data; and

a remote service in communication with the onboard component, comprising:
a receiver that receives the transmitted sensor data and the quality indication,
a remote non-transitory computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon machine instructions for processing the transmitted sensor data and the quality indication, and
a processor that executes the machine instructions to:
determine an operational state of the airplane;
identify future aircraft surface state events associated with the airplane;
generate a prediction that the airplane will achieve a scheduled future event within a statistically derived time window; and
cause transmission of the prediction as a message to aircraft flight control.
