Original Abstract Submitted
A method and system for optimizing an aircraft heading for an intercept of a flight plan has been developed. The method includes activating a flight plan intercept advisory function on a flight management system (FMS) for the aircraft when an aircraft deviates from the active flight plan of the aircraft. The flight plan intercept advisory function identifies intercept points of the active flight plan that is based on an aircraft heading that is selected by a pilot of the aircraft. The advisory function calculates predicted compliance with flight performance and operational parameters of the aircraft at each intercept point. The predicted compliance of flight performance and operational parameters of the aircraft at each intercept point are then displayed to the pilot of the aircraft.
