A method for selecting an altitude changing phase route for an aircraft is presented. The method comprises receiving sequences of multivariate flight data from at least one prior flight, receiving a set of flight parameters for the aircraft including at least a total altitude change and a takeoff weight, and receiving a set of candidate altitude changing phase routes having candidate step profiles. For each candidate altitude changing phase route, a sequence of fuel burn quantities is predicted for the respective candidate step profile based on at least the sequences of multivariate flight data and the set of flight parameters. The fuel burn quantities are summed over the candidate altitude changing phase route to obtain an estimated fuel burn. A preferred candidate altitude changing phase route having a lowest estimated fuel burn is indicated.
