A knowledge based computer aid for flight planning tasks as part of a Cockpit Assistant for IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) operation is presented in detail after a brief overview of the modular structure of the Cockpit Assistant has been given. Based upon the requirements of air traffic management, the system is aimed at supporting the pilot in complex planning and decision situations. By assessing the situation, flight goal conflicts are detected and avoided by offering sensible flight plan modifications to the pilot. The main features of the situation assessment and planning module are discussed with regard to knowledge representation and applied solution model. Thus, conflict detection, selection of an alternate destination and rerouting algorithms are described in detail. The present state of implementation, as tested in a flight simulation facility at the University of the German Armed Forces in Munich, is presented as well as some results of the test phase with professional pilots. The possibilities of integrating the system into the avionics of modern aircraft are discussed and an outlook is given of expanding it towards 4-D and RNAV capability and/or optimal 3-D aircraft trajectory planning under constraints from terrain, traffic and weather.
