First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer system for valuation and simulation of revised navigation procedures, said computer system comprising:
- at least one database comprising required navigation performance data relating to flight operations and customer airline operation;
a modeling program, said modeling program configured to build an aerospace value model from said at least one database of required navigation performance data;
a software program configured to;
utilize the aerospace value model to generate at least one revised navigation procedure, and at least one cost savings item associated with the revised navigation procedure; and
monitor the revised navigation procedure and to alert deviation of the revised navigation procedure from the required navigation performance data;
a flight simulation program operable to demonstrate the revised navigation procedure for illustration of the at least one cost savings item; and
a user interface configured to display outputs of said flight simulation program.

Abstract
A method for illustrating potential benefits resulting from revised navigation procedures to a customer is described. The method includes preparing a model for a revised navigation procedure, determining a landing probability for both an existing minimum separation procedure and a minimum separation determined utilizing the revised navigation procedure, calculating a benefit associated with a difference in the landing probabilities, and validating the revised navigation procedures through demonstration and use of the revised navigation procedure model on a computer-based flight simulation program.
