Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for depicting an energy state of a vehicle. One method comprises receiving, by a flight management computer, a plurality of vehicle parameters associated with the vehicle and determining a flight plan associated with the vehicle. Then, the flight management computer identifies a point of interest in the flight plan and determines one or more trajectories associated with the flight plan. Based on the one or more trajectories, an actual energy height and a desired energy height at the point of interest are determined and displayed to a vehicle operator.
