A method (300) for updating a flight plan by an avionics device (8) for an aircraft (10), includes receiving a first flight plan (21) for a first flight comprising a first set of flight parameters (23) having at least one fuel-related first flight parameter (51), receiving a second flight plan (31) for a subsequent second flight, the second flight plan (31) based on a fuel remaining in the aircraft (10) without refueling subsequent to the first flight, and receiving an update (27) to the first flight plan (21). The method (300) further includes, with the avionics device (8) determining, based on the update (27) to the first flight plan (21), a set of first updated flight parameters (28) comprising at least one fuel-related first updated flight parameter (52), determining, whether the fuel-related first updated flight parameter (52) will satisfy predetermined criteria (53) of the second flight plan (31), and when the fuel-related first updated flight parameter (52) will not satisfy the predetermined criteria (53), automatically displaying a first notification (61) onboard the aircraft (10), and receiving a selection of a refueling location (44) based on the first notification (61).
