Determining a Profile for an Aircraft Prior to Flight Using a Fuel Vector and Uncertainty Bands

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed, cause a system to:

• determine, via a computing apparatus, a profile for an aircraft prior to flight, the determining comprising determining a respective uncertainty band for each of one or more plurality of points along a fuel vector for the flight;
• compare, via the computing apparatus, for each respective point of the one or more points along the fuel vector, the profile to a predetermined flight limit;
• determine based on the comparing whether the profile is suitable for flight of the aircraft;
• and
• provide an indication for a user that the profile is suitable.

A system, comprising:

• a display;
• at least one processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:
• determine a profile for an aircraft prior to flight, the determining comprising determining a respective uncertainty band for each of a plurality of points along a fuel vector for the flight;
• compare, for each respective point of the points along the fuel vector, the profile to a predetermined flight limit;
• determine based on the comparing whether the profile is suitable for flight of the aircraft;
• and
• provide, on the display, an indication that the profile is suitable.
