Abstract
A method is provided for supporting taxi operation of an aircraft. The method includes accessing information that describes a taxi operation of the aircraft at an airport, for a flight of the aircraft. The method includes determining a recommendation for reduced-engine taxi operation of the aircraft based on the information. The recommendation divides the reduced-engine taxi operation into steps including reduced-engine and all-engines steps. A route for the taxi operation is plotted on a diagram of the airport, the route is annotated with an indication of the recommendation for the taxi operation, and a graphical user interface (GUI) is generated that includes the diagram with the route and the indication of the recommendation. The indication of the recommendation includes indications of the steps into which the reduced-engine taxi operation is divided, and the route is annotated to indicate segments of the route over which the steps are performed.
