Zusammenfassung:	A method for providing operational-efficiency data onboard an aircraft associated with a current flight plan. Prior to flight of the aircraft using the current flight plan, the method obtains and presents pre-flight briefing data, flight advisories, and stored alerts associated with the current flight plan, wherein the pre-flight briefing data comprises at least an operational-efficiency KPI associated with the current flight plan. The method also determines applicability of the operational-efficiency KPI to the current flight plan, based on the pre-flight briefing data, flight plan data, weather data, NOTAM data, and ATC communication data. When the operational-efficiency KPI is applicable to the current flight plan, the method computes and presents fuel savings associated with adherence to the operational-efficiency KPI during the flight; and configures and presents alerts associated with adherence to the operational-efficiency KPI during the flight.
