Apparatus, systems, and methods for automated flight path validation

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor circuitry to at least:

• process an input to determine a containment zone with a lower altitude limit and lateral boundaries for a flight path from a first location to a second location;
• generate a flyability assessment using a flight physics model, the flight physics model modeling movement of an aircraft through the containment zone along the flight path;
• generate a hazard assessment with respect to the containment zone along the flight path;
• process the flight path using the flyability assessment and the hazard assessment to determine a validation of the flight path;
• and
• output an indication of the validation of the flight path and a definition of the flight path.

A computer-implemented method of flight path validation, the method comprising:

• processing, by executing an instruction using at least one processor circuit, an input to determine a containment zone with a lower altitude limit for a flight path from a first location to a second location;
• generating, by executing an instruction using the at least one processor circuit, a flyability assessment using a flight physics model, the flight physics model modeling movement of an aircraft through the containment zone along the flight path;
• generating, by executing an instruction using the at least one processor circuit, a hazard assessment with respect to the containment zone along the flight path;
• processing, by executing an instruction using the at least one processor circuit, the flight path using the flyability assessment and the hazard assessment to determine a validation of the flight path;
• and
• outputting, by executing an instruction using the at least one processor circuit, an indication of the validation of the flight path and a definition of the flight path.
