GENERATING TIME AND ALTITUDE BASED FIXES FOR A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Techniques for aircraft flight management are disclosed. These techniques include receiving, at a flight management system (FMS) of an aircraft, a target value, the target value including at least one of: (i) an altitude target value or (ii) a time target value. The techniques further include determining a target aircraft position relating to the target value, based on a trajectory for the aircraft. The techniques further include calculating a distance for the aircraft to travel from a current aircraft position to the target aircraft position and displaying the calculated distance in a user interface of the aircraft. The techniques further include providing coordinates for the target aircraft position to the FMS for use in flight management of the aircraft.
