Abstract

A system and method is provided for displaying ITP opportunities on an onboard display device of a host aircraft flying at a first flight level. Flight status data of the host aircraft and at least a first neighboring aircraft flying at a second flight level is obtained and processed to determine a first predicted time within which an ITP transition through the second flight level to a desired flight level can be made. A graphical representation of the host aircraft, the neighboring aircraft, and the first predicted time is rendered on the onboard display device.
