Abstract:
A method for updating a flight plan by an avionics device includes receiving a first flight plan comprising a first set of flight parameters having at least one fuel-related first flight parameter, receiving a second flight plan for a subsequent second flight, the second flight plan based on a fuel remaining in the aircraft without refueling subsequent to the first flight, and receiving an update to the first flight plan. The method further includes, determining, with the avionics device, a set of first updated flight parameters comprising at least one fuel-related first updated flight parameter, determining, whether the fuel-related first updated flight parameter will satisfy predetermined criteria of the second flight plan, and when the fuel-related first updated flight parameter will not satisfy the predetermined criteria, displaying a first notification onboard the aircraft, and receiving a selection of a refueling locations.
