Abstract
A system, device, and method for generating and employing risk-based flight path data are disclosed. The system for employing risk-based flight path data may include one or more one avionics systems and/or remote aircraft operator systems configured to receive risk-based flight path data from a route generator (RG). The RG may acquire navigation data representative of one or more waypoints, acquire risk object data based upon the navigation data, determine the risk-based flight path data representative of a risk-based flight path as a function of the acquired navigation data, the acquired risk data, and a route generating algorithm, and provide the flight path data to the one or more avionics systems and/or remote aircraft operator systems. In some embodiments, the risk object data may include a plurality of risk clearance altitudes. In other embodiments, the risk object data may include a plurality of risk clearance elevations.
