Abstract
A method and system for aircraft management for selecting a speeding profile mode for phases of a flight plan including: retrieving assigned space goals (ASG) corresponding to a plurality of achieve by point (ABP) designations for a target flight path of the aircraft wherein the target flight path is associated with a target aircraft; determining a target air speed and applicable speed profile modes by retrieving prior information of traffic history and flight plans of the target aircraft to achieve the ABP designations corresponding to an ASG retrieved; selecting from a plurality of applicable speed profile modes, at least one applicable speed profile mode for a phase of the target flight plan for the aircraft; and comparing statuses of the aircraft of at least a status of fuel remaining for a combination of the selection of the applicable speed profile mode and the phase of the target flight plan.
