Aircraft systems and methods are provided for assisting sequencing of aircraft by providing conditional estimated arrival times for short arrivals or early clearances. One method involves identifying a geographic location associated with a merge point for an approach to an airport associated with a flight plan for an aircraft, determining an alternative lateral trajectory for the aircraft from a second geographic location along a sequencing route between arrival and the merge point, determining a conditional estimated arrival time for the aircraft at the merge point based at least in part on the alternative lateral trajectory, and transmitting a message including the conditional estimated arrival time for the aircraft to an external computing system.
