    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: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for cognitive services for a FMS SaaS platform. For instance, the method may include obtaining training data; training reinforcement learning model(s) using the obtained training data; in response to receiving a request for cognitive services from a user device, analyzing a query of the request for cognitive services using at least one reinforcement learning model of the trained reinforcement learning model(s); determining intent, entity(s), emotion, and/or context of the query based on an output of the at least one reinforcement learning model to form a cognitive services request; applying a second at least one reinforcement learning model of the trained reinforcement learning model(s) to the cognitive services request to determine one or more services to invoke; and transmitting a result to the user device based on an output of the one of more invoked services.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for an aircraft entering a terminal radar approach control (TRACON) airspace to identify a number of feasible target traffic for a paired approach for the aircraft. Traffic data is filtered to identify a plurality of neighbor traffic that are entering the TRACON airspace or within the TRACON airspace when the aircraft is entering the TRACON airspace and estimating, concurrently, for each neighbor traffic of the plurality of neighbor traffic: a trajectory, a traffic arrival time at an ideal location for a respective paired approach with the aircraft, a spacing interval between the neighbor traffic and the aircraft for the respective paired approach, and a respective target location for the aircraft to begin the respective paired approach, as a function of the spacing interval. Based on the estimations, the method identifies feasible, marginally feasible, and infeasible targets, and displays this information in an intuitive lateral display.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for fault injection and ensuring failsafe FMS SaaS platforms. For instance, the method may include observing a behavior of a platform; building a hypothesis about a steady state behavior based on the observing the behavior of the platform; determining whether a request for fault injection has been received; in response to receiving the request for the fault injection, performing the fault injection; observing a response of the platform to the fault injection; determining whether the fault injection is at an end; and in response to determining that the fault injection is at the end, collect and analyze data of observed response(s).

    Abstract: A method in an aircraft for energy reduction is disclosed. The method includes: determining a starting point location, altitude and airspeed for a stable approach for landing at a diversion airport; and determining a vertical strategy for achieving the starting point altitude and airspeed by identifying a region of opportunity for adjusting the speed and altitude and identifying a plurality of energy reduction strategies for achieving the starting point altitude and airspeed while in the region of opportunity based on a speed mode during the stable approach. The method further comprises causing a graphic display to be displayed that lists for selection each of the plurality of identified strategies, detailed maneuver information for strategy implementation, and costs for implementing each identified strategy; and causing to be displayed, responsive to flight crew selection, a lateral view and vertical view of a proposed trajectory based on a selected identified strategy.
