Zusammenfassung:	Methods 600, apparatus 100, and articles of manufacture to provide improved engine load models 330 are disclosed. An example apparatus 100 includes a model generator 305 to generate an engine load model 330 for an engine using flight information, weather information, and manifest information to predict a load on the engine from an engine subsystem utilization modeled for a flight. The example model generator 305 is to incorporate the engine load model 330 into an engine model 320, the engine model 320 representing engine behavior for the flight. The example model generator 305 is to determine a first measure of thrust from the engine and a second measure of fuel flow to the engine using the engine model 320 with the engine load model 330, the engine load model 330 to modify engine behavior by the predicted load on the engine from the engine subsystem utilization. The example model generator 305 is to generate flight parameters for a flight path using the first measure of thrust and the second measure of fuel flow for the predicted load on the engine based on the engine load model 330.
