The present invention relates to a processor that can be used both for the prediction of an aircraft's trajectory from aircraft intent, and the execution of aircraft intent for controlling the aircraft. An aircraft intent processor (300), comprising: an aircraft intent input (302) arranged to receive aircraft intent data representative of aircraft intent instructions; and an aircraft state input (304) for receiving state data representative of a state of the aircraft (100) with respect to six degrees of freedom; and a residual output (306), wherein the aircraft intent processor (300) is arranged to: calculate residual data representative of an error between a state of the aircraft commanded by received aircraft intent data and a state of the aircraft expressed by received state data; and output the residual data via the residual output (306) .
