System and method for measure operation benefits of flight deck avionics
First Claim
1. An Operational Flight Efficiency Evaluation (OFEE) system for an aircraft, the system comprising:
- an Avionics Situation Awareness Device (ASAD), the ASAD including;
one or more processors,a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors,a flight data collection interface configured to, via the one or more processors, collect empirical flight data for a flight and store the empirical flight data in the memory; and
a Simulation And Comparison System (SACS) in communication with the ASAD, the SACS including;
a database communicatively coupled to a National Airspace System (NAS) and configured to automatically acquire and store avionic system configurations available for flight efficiencies from the NAS,a simulator configured to identify any possible avionics upgrade based on the collected empirical flight data and the avionics systems available for flight efficiencies.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an Operational Flight Efficiency Evaluation (OFEE) system for an aircraft. The system comprises an Avionics Situation Awareness Device (ASAD). The ASAD includes one or more processors, a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and a flight data collection interface configured to, via the one or more processors, collect empirical flight data for a flight and store the empirical flight data in the memory. The OFEE also includes a Simulation And Comparison System (SACS) in communication with the ASAD. The ASAD includes a database communicatively coupled to a National Airspace System (NAS). The database is also configured to automatically acquire and store avionics systems available for flight efficiencies from the NAS. The ASAD also includes a simulator configured to identify at least one avionics upgrade based on the collected empirical flight data and the avionics systems available for flight efficiencies.
