    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for integrating aircraft flight parameters generated by an offboard portable electronic device (PED) into an onboard flight management system (FMS). The method comprises selecting the aircraft flight parameters to be generated by the PED for use by the FMS. The current flight data is accessed for the aircraft with the FMS and providing the current flight data to the offboard PED. The rules for the aircraft flight parameters are computed with the offboard PED based on the current flight data for the aircraft and transmitted to a flight management (FM) adapter. The FM adapter confirms that the rules for the aircraft flight parameters comply with operational limits of the aircraft and then translates the rules of the aircraft flight parameters to aircraft operational targets for use by the onboard FMS. The aircraft operational targets are then loaded from the FM adapter into the FMS.

    Abstract: A method and system for aircraft management for selecting a speeding profile mode for phases of a flight plan including: retrieving assigned space goals (ASG) corresponding to a plurality of achieve by point (ABP) designations for a target flight path of the aircraft wherein the target flight path is associated with a target aircraft; determining a target air speed and applicable speed profile modes by retrieving prior information of traffic history and flight plans of the target aircraft to achieve the ABP designations corresponding to an ASG retrieved; selecting from a plurality of applicable speed profile modes, at least one applicable speed profile mode for a phase of the target flight plan for the aircraft; and comparing statuses of the aircraft of at least a status of fuel remaining for a combination of the selection of the applicable speed profile mode and the phase of the target flight plan.
