Abstract: Techniques to increase accuracy of estimating fuel for an aircraft. A statistical analysis is performed on data for multiple past instances of flights between a departure airport and an arrival airport for multiple aircraft to determine one or more predicted real-world limitations more stringent than what is imposed by a set of regulations. A calibration flight plan is generated based on an operator flight plan and the one or more predicted real-world limitations. The calibration flight plan includes an airborne operating parameter that conforms to the one or more predicted real-world limitations. Based on the calibration flight plan, a first fuel load is calculated for the aircraft travelling from the departure airport to the arrival airport.

Abstract: Method and system for providing optimal, achievable flight plans for a flight of an aircraft and for providing accurate fuel load calculations. The method and system can check for and correct inaccurate assumptions in a flight plan. The method and system can also perform statistical analysis to recognize and account for real-world limitations on flight plans. The method and system can also perform statistical analysis to determine actual aircraft wear that can affect aircraft performance and account for such wear when calculating fuel load.
