An aircraft flight planning apparatus includes a database and an aircraft flight planning apparatus. The database includes a plurality of forecasting models configured to predict a predetermined characteristic on which at least a portion of a flight plan is based, and at least one data matrix of test predictions for the predetermined characteristic from each model, each data matrix includes a plurality of test data points. The aircraft flight planning controller is coupled to the database, and is configured to receive analysis forecast data having at least one analysis data point, select a model based on a comparison between the analysis data point and the test data points of a respective model, and provide a prediction of the predetermined characteristic with the model, from the plurality of forecasting models, that corresponds to a test data point that is representative of the analysis data point.
