The flight management system (FMS) of aircrafts mission computer encompasses the functions such as flight planning, automatic navigation, homing guidance, desired track guidance and speed guidance functions. Guidance in the current context is the indications provided to pilot to direct him to bring the aircraft onto a particular track, or to suitably alter the speed so as to reach the destination at a pre-selected time. The current work aims to address the trajectory prediction for the case of flight plans having desired track constraint for some or all the waypoints of the aircraft plan. This involves lateral flight profile prediction of the aircraft by considering all the flight plan constraints such as bank angle during turn, desired track angle, desired distance, cross track error etc., at all waypoints of the aeronautical strategy. With all these constraints entire flight path in terms of flight segments is computed. This includes the computation of “Initial vector”, “Rollover points”, “Turn Initiation points”, “Turn path length”. Using this data, “Time to fly each flight leg” is computed for all the flight legs of the flight plan. The proposed work is simulated using MATLAB and the trajectory has been plotted.
