Abstract

Provided is a flight optimization system and a method of flight optimization that includes generating flight data via an onboard aircraft system, performing a pre-flight cycle by determining an updated tail assignment plan before departure based on the flight data received in real-time from the onboard aircraft system, performing an in-flight cycle by collating and processing in-flight data and external data via an onboard network server, and transmitting the processed data to an electronic flight bag in real-time and performing flight path optimization via a path optimizer application of theelectronic flight bag to be accessed by flight personnel, and performing a post-flight cycle by transmitting post-flight data to an event measurement system along with operational data to be processedand sent to a fleet support system and a maintenance system for generating updated flight plans and maintenance plans which are data-driven.

Description

[0001]Cross references to related applications[0002]This application claims the benefits of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 870,871 filed on July 5, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.Technical field[0003]The technical field usually involves flight optimization for airline operations. In particular, the flight optimization system and method performed in various stages of the flight of the aircraft include dynamic aircraft allocation, flight planning, flight path optimization and post-flight analysis.Background technique[0004]Currently, airline operations are based on models provided by airframe and engine manufacturers for flight planning and payload limitation. Many conventional systems use these global standards to generate existing flight plans. Therefore, it may cause undesired fuel usage, payload restrictions, flight delays and additional costs.[0005]It is desirable to be able to dynamically adjust airline operations during the pre-flight, in-fl...
