Abstract: A method is provided for supporting flight operations of an aircraft in an airspace system. The method includes accessing a flight plan that indicates clearances that describe a planned route the aircraft is authorized to travel through the airspace system. The clearances are applied to an airborne navigation database to map the clearances to a sequence of procedural legs of procedures to be followed by the aircraft, the sequence of procedural legs including a sequence of position fixes and indicating leg types of the procedural legs. A ground track and vertical guidance for the aircraft are determined from the sequence of procedural legs, subject to rules and constraints of the clearances and the procedures. And a three-dimensional trajectory for the aircraft that follows the planned route, from the ground track and the vertical guidance is generated and output for use in guidance, navigation or control of the aircraft.
