First Claim
1. A method to generate a clearance request to deviate from a flight plan, the method comprising:
- receiving input from at least one flight-plan-relevant source;
determining a revised flight route based on the received input;
generating a preconfigured clearance request message to deviate from the flight plan for a user based on the determining;
prompting the user for one of approval and rejection of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan; and
when an approval of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan is received from the user, downlinking the preconfigured clearance request message.

Abstract
A method to generate a clearance request to deviate from a flight plan comprising receiving input from at least one flight-plan-relevant source, determining a revised flight route based on the received input, and generating a preconfigured clearance request message to deviate from the flight plan for a user based on the determining. The method further comprises prompting the user for one of approval and rejection of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan. The preconfigured clearance request message is downlinked when an approval of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan is received from the user.

5. A system to automatically generate a clearance request to deviate from a flight plan, the system comprising:
-
at least one interface communicatively coupled to an associated flight-plan-relevant source; a processor to receive input via the at least one interface, wherein the processor uses the input to determine if a revised flight route is to be indicated to a user, wherein the processor generates a prompt for a user to one of approve and reject a clearance request to deviate from the flight plan when the revised flight route is to be indicated to a user; an interface unit to indicate the prompt to the user and to receive one of approval input or rejection input from the user; and a wireless interface to downlink the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan to a controller when the interface unit receives an approval input, the wireless interface further configured to uplink one of controller approval of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan and controller rejection of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
