Abstract
A method includes generating an initial flight context that includes a set of unresolved flight constraints. The method further includes generating a decision tree based on the initial flight context. The decision tree includes a plurality of flight contexts corresponding to leaves of the decision tree. The method also includes expanding the decision tree according to a greedy best-first strategy that selects a flight context of the decision tree for expansion based on a fitness value assigned to the flight context. The method includes selecting, as a piloting strategy, a flight context of the decision tree that includes a sequence of actions to resolve each of the unresolved flight constraints. The method further includes flying an aircraft according to the piloting strategy.
