![]() Most of the software out there will compute a flight based on the user's route, time of departure and altitude. This is a fairly straight forward task which could be done without a computer, as has been the case for decades. What I am looking for is the reverse. Given a destination, aircraft type and a window of travel time (which could be a couple of days), the software should come up with the best altitude, route and time of departure. It should consider forecasted winds aloft, frontal positions, icing potentials, turbulence and thunderstorms. The user should be able to attach numeric weights to indicate the level of importance to each factor. In other words, it should be a minimization software considering a variety of decision matrix. At present I do this by recomputing the flight for each scenario. This does get very cumbersome, and is best done with an automated algorithm. If such a thing exists, I would like to hear opinions. |
