Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically providing linking partner loyalty rewards accounts using authorized user and primary user information associated with an account. One example method includes authenticating a user at a partner system, and receiving from the user information associated with an account. The information associated with user's account is communicated to a financial institution system via an API where the user can then be verified as an authorized user on an account. The financial institution system then provides the partner system with information associated with the primary user of the account, and the partner system can link a loyalty account of the primary user with the loyalty account of the authenticated user.

Abstract: A flight management system which is capable of monitoring changes in airplane characteristics. The flight management system is configured with a datalink management function that enables the uploading of updated performance table data from a ground station via a datalink. Upon receipt of updated aerodynamic and propulsion performance data via the datalink, the flight management system creates or updates a set of airplane performance tables or curves in a database which can be utilized to compute more accurate flight profile and trip prediction parameters, such as estimated time of arrival and predicted fuel consumption quantity.

Abstract: A flight management system which has access to customized information concerning the actual characteristics of a specific airplane or a specific fleet of airplanes of the same model when computing a predicted flight profile and associated trip prediction parameters. This up-to-date airplane-specific or fleet-specific information is digital data configured as a separately loadable database called a “customized performance database”. This customized performance database contains a smaller set of performance data—such as fuel flow correction, drag coefficient correction, and re-optimized speed/altitude tables—than is contained in the baseline performance database. The flight management system will continue to use a baseline performance database as a “limit” on the numbers computed using the customized performance database. The customized performance database can include tables or curves that are customizable by airlines.
