  • FLIGHT PREDICTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140358415
    Abstract: A method of predicting the trajectory of an aircraft is disclosed in this specification. The method involves predicting corrective adjustments that an aircraft flight management system is expected to make to follow a reference trajectory. A ground based system receives a reference trajectory that the aircraft flight management system intends to fly and predicts an actual trajectory using the predicted corrective adjustments. The actual trajectory predicted by the system differs from the reference trajectory in a free dimension that is not restrained in the reference trajectory.
