Disclosed herein is cruise altitude recommendation system and method for determining a cruise altitude recommendation for a particular aircraft. The method includes receiving flight plan information for an aircraft, generating an altitude recommendation plan during cruise operations for the aircraft based on the flight plan information and a fuel flow model previously generated for the aircraft, and outputting the altitude recommendation plan.

System, method, and apparatus for minimizing aircraft cruise operational costs

A system and a method for operating an aircraft during a climb phase of flight include a control unit configured to receive data regarding one or both of a current flight or one or more previous flights of the aircraft from one or more sensors of the aircraft. The control unit is further configured to determine efficient climb phase parameters for the aircraft based on the data. The aircraft is operated during the climb phase of one or both of the current flight or one or more future flights according to the efficient climb phase parameters.
