METHOD FOR SELECTING METEOROLOGICAL DATA FOR UPDATING AIRCRAFT TRAJECTORY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide meteorological data that are relevant to an aircraft's trajectory and can be made an accurate meteorological prediction.;SOLUTION: A method 100 of selecting and storing a subset of available meteorological data along a predicted trajectory of an aircraft and relevant to the predicted trajectory is provided. The method includes determining pseudo-waypoints and related meteorological data pertaining to a level segment of the trajectory, and selecting the meteorological data points minimizing weighted fuel burn and time error pertaining to a non-level segment of the trajectory.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
