FLIGHT PLANNING OPERATIONS USING CONNECTED DATA

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for determining a flight plan. An example method includes determining one or more potential flight plans from an originating location to a destination location, each potential flight plan comprising a different combination of one or more flight plan segments forming a potential flight plan from the originating location to the destination location. The method further includes calculating a projected cost for each of the one or more potential flight plans wherein the projected cost is based at least in part on dynamic cost data, dynamic navigation data, or a combination thereof. The method further includes determining an optimal flight plan from among the one or more potential flight plans, the optimal flight plan having a lowest aggregate cost of the calculated projected costs associated with each of the one or more potential flight plans.
