Abstract

A system and method of displaying optimized aircraft energy level to a flight crew includes processing flight plan data, in a processor, to determine the optimized aircraft energy level along a descent profile of the aircraft from cruise altitude down to aircraft destination, and continuously processing aircraft data, in the processor, to continuously determine, in real-time, an actual aircraft energy level. The actual aircraft energy level of the aircraft is continuously compared, in the processor, to the optimized aircraft energy level. The processor is use to command a display device to render an image that indicates: (i) the optimized aircraft energy level, (ii) how the actual aircraft energy level differs from the optimized aircraft energy level, and (iii) how the actual aircraft energy level is trending relative to the optimized aircraft energy level.
