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 for providing cost data for a flight is provided. The method (i) obtains cost target data for the flight, under anticipated conditions; (ii) obtains real-time aircraft performance parameters affecting the actual cost of the flight, using continuous monitoring during the flight, including at least aircraft speed modes, aircraft flight level changes, tactical interventions, weather impact, and descent timing deviations; (iii) determines an actual cost of the flight, based on the real-time aircraft performance parameters affecting the actual cost; (iv) identifies flight plan change options associated with a potential cost savings over the actual cost, wherein the flight plan change options comprise potential modifications to the flight plan to complete the flight; (v) presents the flight plan change options; and (vi) adapts operation of one or more avionics systems onboard the aircraft, based on one of the flight plan change options.
