Abstract: Systems and methods that optimize landing performance are provided. The system determines a number, N, of equipment configurations (a combination of a brake setting and a thrust reverser configuration) supported by the aircraft. The system determines a deceleration airspeed to achieve a target taxi speed and, for each of the N equipment configurations, determines a respective deceleration distance. In various embodiments, the system further updates the deceleration distances by one or more of a brake's condition, aircraft historical data, brake warranty and life cycle data, and environmental conditions. The deceleration distances are used to identify a number P of exit-ways that can be used at the runway. Total costs (including brake usage and fuel cost) for each of the P exit-ways is determined, and the equipment configuration that delivers the lowest total cost delivers the optimize landing performance.

Abstract: A method for providing operational-efficiency data onboard an aircraft associated with a current flight plan. Prior to flight of the aircraft using the current flight plan, the method obtains and presents pre-flight briefing data, flight advisories, and stored alerts associated with the current flight plan, wherein the pre-flight briefing data comprises at least an operational-efficiency KPI associated with the current flight plan. The method also determines applicability of the operational-efficiency KPI to the current flight plan, based on the pre-flight briefing data, flight plan data, weather data, NOTAM data, and ATC communication data. When the operational-efficiency KPI is applicable to the current flight plan, the method computes and presents fuel savings associated with adherence to the operational-efficiency KPI during the flight; and configures and presents alerts associated with adherence to the operational-efficiency KPI during the flight.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for optimization of an aircraft flight trajectory with shortcuts. The method comprises retrieving an active flight plan stored in a flight management system (FMS) and identifying a potential shortcut with a shortcut advisor tool. The FMS monitors the location of the aircraft with respect to an identified start point of the potential shortcut. Prior to the aircraft's arrival at the identified start point, current key performance indicators (KPI) of the shortcut are evaluated with the shortcut advisor tool. The aircrew is alerted to the potential shortcut along with a preview of the performance of the aircraft upon accepting the potential shortcut. The aircrew may accept the addition of the potential shortcut to the flight plan and request approval of the shortcut by air traffic control (ATC). The active flight plan is updated with the shortcut upon approval from the ATC.

Abstract: A method for providing landing lights operation data during a flight of an aircraft is provided. The method obtains a standard operating procedure (SOP) for operating landing lights onboard the aircraft during the flight, wherein the SOP comprises a customary industry-recommended practice for at least one of extension and retraction of the landing lights on the aircraft, and wherein execution of the SOP produces a flight efficiency level including at least fuel burn and drag parameters; determines an optimized operating procedure for the landing lights to increase the flight efficiency level to achieve an increased flight efficiency level, based on real-time contextual data; and presents an advisory comprising at least graphical elements associated with the optimized operating procedure, a potential cost savings for the optimized operating procedure, and the increased flight efficiency level onboard the aircraft, via a display device.

Abstract: A method is provided for calculating an actual cost index (CI) for aircraft operations. A preliminary CI is generated for an aircraft based on in-flight data parameters. An actual CI is calculated by identifying unavoidable deviations from the flight plan and discounting the deviations from the preliminary CI. Also, an expected CI for the flight plan of the aircraft is generated based on the book performance data of the aircraft provided by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The actual CI is then compared with the expected CI with any differences between the two indices reported in a post flight compliance report.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for providing real-time assessment and analysis for reduced engine taxi operations (RETO) for an aircraft. The method includes retrieving time sensitive data, non-time sensitive data and ground operational data that all affect RETO of the aircraft. This data is collected with an RETO analyzer which applies a predetermined ruleset to determine a RETO recommendation for the aircraft. The recommendation is transmitted to a RETO support module which retrieves historical flight data and cost model and financial model data for the aircraft. The support module then generates and displays RETO alerts, implementation plans and map overlays for the aircraft.
