Abstract

Described are various embodiments of a flight management method and system using same. In one embodiment, a digital flight management system comprises: a digital processing environment comprising instructions to access: flight request data related to a flight plan; aircraft parameter data; a flight risk data source; and geographical data. The instructions are executable to: calculate a predicted flight path; digitally compare the predicted flight path with flight risk data from the flight risk data source to assess a flight risk associated with the predicted flight path; and display via a user interface the predicted fight path in accordance with the flight risk.
