Technology identifies a flight path, where the flight path includes a plurality of segments that each include a waypoint, identifies a flight profile that includes one or more of desired velocities or desired altitudes and calculates a first distance from a beginning of the flight path 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 from the plurality of waypoints based on the first distance and adjusts the first waypoint to reach the one or more of the desired velocities or the desired altitudes.
