Creating a Data Dictionary for an ER Diagram

A booking can contain more than one passenger with multiple booking.

Each booking should have a maximum number of passengers for which booking on a flight can be done. 

 There will be only one employee/pilot for a flight at an instance.

An employee may have multiple flights but not on same date.

The employees with training status could not be assigned to a flight.

 The booking for a flight would have a highest limit as per the capacity of the airplane model.

 The departure and arrival time for a flight should not be the same.

 The number of maintenance of an airplane should not cross the frequency (the airplanes should not be assigned for maintenance in certain time periods).

Flight source and the destination never be same as it may lead to inconsistency of the data.

Flights under maintenance should not be available for booking for certain time period i.e. the event date and the flight date should not be same for a unique serial airplane number to avoid the confusion for the availability of data.

From the given case study, it can be stated that following will be the required entities,

Flight table, passenger table, employee table, booking table, maintenance table, airplane table.
