Abstract: A method, medium, and system to receive flight parameter data relating to a plurality of flights, the flight parameter data including indications of aircraft performance based navigation (PBN) capabilities, flight plan information, an aircraft configuration, and an airport configuration for the plurality of flights; assign probabilistic properties to the flight parameter data; receive accurate and current position and predicted flight plan information for a plurality of aircraft corresponding to the flight parameter data; determine a probabilistic trajectory for two of the plurality of aircraft based on a combination of the probabilistic properties of the flight parameter data and the position and predicted flight plan information, the probabilistic trajectory being specific to the two aircraft and including a target spacing specification to maintain a predetermined spacing between the two aircraft at a target location with a specified probability; and generate a record of the probabilistic trajectory for the two aircraft.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for generating verifiable conflict-free flight plans for aircraft are disclosed. In an embodiment, a server computer receives a set of air traffic flight plans for an airspace that includes elements, and receives at least two of aerodynamic constraint data, business constraint data and operational constraint data for an aircraft. The server computer then generates using a first constraint satisfaction solver, a plurality of candidate flight plans for the aircraft based on the at least two of the aerodynamic constraint data, the business constraint data and the operational constraint data. The server computer next checks, utilizing a second constraint solver, for conflicts with the elements of the air traffic flight plans for the airspace, and provides at least one verifiable conflict-free flight plan for the aircraft from the plurality of candidate flight plans when a candidate flight plan is conflict-free from all of the elements of the set of air traffic flight plans.
