    Abstract: Methods, systems and related graphical user interface displays are provided for assisting operation of a vehicle in a vicinity of a docking location. A docking graphical user interface display includes lateral deviation markers, vertical deviation markers, a first graphical indication with respect to the lateral deviation markers and a second graphical indication with respect to the vertical deviation markers. A position of the first graphical indication with respect to the lateral deviation markers corresponds to a first difference between the current location of the vehicle and the reference stopping location in a lateral direction, and a second position of the second graphical indication with respect to the vertical deviation markers corresponds to a second difference between the current location of the vehicle and the reference stopping location in a longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: A wake energy formation flight plan is received from a formation flight coordination ground station at a first aircraft. The wake energy formation flight plan includes an aircraft identifier of a second aircraft and a formation flight path. The formation flight path is along a portion of a first flight path of the first aircraft that overlaps with a portion of a second flight path of the second aircraft. A paired communication channel is established between the first FMS of the first aircraft and a second FMS of the second aircraft while the first and second aircraft are flying in formation along at least a portion of the first formation flight path to enable transmission of first FMS data generated by the first FMS to the second FMS and receipt of second FMS data generated by the second FMS at the first FMS.

    Abstract: A method and system for providing cost data via an operating cost app for a flight associated with a flight plan, by a computing device including: obtaining cost data of the flight plan by executing the operating cost app to implement an operating cost integrator application integrated with the operating cost app to interface with a plurality of service providers for retrieving operating cost data of the flight plan from each of the service providers; obtaining, by the at least one processor, real-time aircraft performance parameters affecting the actual cost of the flight including: a landing time and a takeoff time; determining an actual cost of the flight by using software solutions of the operating cost app, and by calculating ground charges at the airport derived from the sensed data by the operating cost app and presenting the actual cost of the ground charge, via a display device for displaying.

    Abstract: A method and system for optimizing an aircraft heading for an intercept of a flight plan has been developed. The method includes activating a flight plan intercept advisory function on a flight management system (FMS) for the aircraft when an aircraft deviates from the active flight plan of the aircraft. The flight plan intercept advisory function identifies intercept points of the active flight plan that is based on an aircraft heading that is selected by a pilot of the aircraft. The advisory function calculates predicted compliance with flight performance and operational parameters of the aircraft at each intercept point. The predicted compliance of flight performance and operational parameters of the aircraft at each intercept point are then displayed to the pilot of the aircraft.
