Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses provided for predicting a Mach Tuck situation. The method includes generating a flight plan for the aircraft of at least one supersonic flight path segment in accordance with a flight plan criteria entered via an input interface wherein the aircraft traverses at least one supersonic flight path segment at an airspeed approaching or exceeding a supersonic airspeed; predicting based on an impact of a weather condition forecast to occur at a selected region of the supersonic flight path segment while the aircraft is operating at the airspeed approaching or exceeding the supersonic speed that an overpressure condition will occur causing an aerodynamic effect to the aircraft that results in the aircraft exceeding an operating limitation causing the Mach Tuck situation; and modifying the flight plan in a manner to lessen the impact of the weather condition forecast to occur to prevent the Mach Tuck situation.
