Technology identifies a flight path (104, 152, 154, 162, 164, 172, 174, 190, 192, 226, 302, 346, 348, 366, 416), where the flight path (104, 152, 154, 162, 164, 172, 174, 190, 192, 226, 302, 346, 348, 366, 416) includes a plurality of segments (152, 154, 162, 164, 172, 174, 190, 192, 242, 244, 246, 248, 252, 304, 306, 346, 346a, 346b, 348, 362, 364, 406a-406f) that each include a waypoint (114a-114i, 230, 232, 234, 314, 316, 318, 354, 404a-404f), identifies a flight profile (102, 112a-112i, 156, 168, 196, 228, 312, 352, 368) that includes one or more of desired velocities or desired altitudes and calculates a first distance (D1) from a beginning of the flight path (104, 152, 154, 162, 164, 172, 174, 190, 192, 226, 302, 346, 348, 366, 416) to reach the one or more of the desired velocities or the desired altitudes to comply with a constraint. The technology further identifies a first waypoint (114d) from the plurality of waypoints (114a-114i, 200, 230, 232, 234, 314, 316, 318, 354, 404a-404f) based on the first distance (D1) and adjusts the first waypoint (114d) to reach the one or more of the desired velocities or the desired altitudes.
