AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PATH HOLDING PATTERN SYSTEM AND METHOD

AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PATH HOLDING PATTERN SYSTEM AND METHOD

A flight path holding pattern system (100) is configured to determine an efficient holding pattern (200, 300, 400, 500, 600) for an aircraft (102). The flight path holding pattern system (100) includes a holding pattern determination unit (106) that is configured to automatically generate the holdin...

Zusammenfassung:A flight path holding pattern system (100) is configured to determine an efficient holding pattern (200, 300, 400, 500, 600) for an aircraft (102). The flight path holding pattern system (100) includes a holding pattern determination unit (106) that is configured to automatically generate the holding pattern (200, 300, 400, 500, 600) for the aircraft (102) based on one or more of current air traffic in relation to a destination airport (204), historical holding patterns in relation to the destination airport (204), current weather conditions in relation to the destination airport (204), and fuel consumption of one or both of the aircraft (102) and at least one other aircraft.
