Abstract

An aviation advisory module may include processing circuitry configured to receive data indicative of internal factors and external factors related to route optimization of an aircraft. At least some of the external factors may include dynamic parameters that are changeable while the aircraft is in-flight. The processing circuitry may also be configured to receive updates to the dynamic parameters via a wireless communication network that includes a high bandwidth return link from the aircraft while the aircraft is in-flight, update trajectory deconfliction of a trajectory of the aircraft and trajectories of one or more other aircraft, and generate a guidance output associated with a route of the aircraft based on integration of the dynamic parameters, the trajectory deconfliction and the internal factors.
