Trajectories

Trajectories in AEIC are defined as the operation profile of the aircraft starting at 914 meters (3000 feet) above the departure airport and ending 914 meters above the arrival airport. All operations below 914 meters relative to the departure/arrival airport are classified as LTO operations and are (optionally) represented using ICAO Annex 16 Volume II time-in-modes. AEIC assumes that a negligible amount of fuel is burned during these operations.

AEIC currently only supports a trajectory simulation method which is very similar to the legacy (AEIC v2) trajectory model. In the future, support for additional trajectory models will be added. Possible additions include more dynamics-driven non-trapezoidal trajectories, trajectories closer to real flight tracks based on ADS-B data, and optimized (horzontal, vertical, speed) trajectories.
