A method for controlling aircraft time of arrival at a flight trajectory waypoint decouples the various parts of the flight for flight plan, speed scheduling, and trajectory predictions. Adjustments to the speed during a first cruise phase of the flight reduce the deviations between the actual and estimated arrival times throughout the flight, and particularly reduce the amount of speed adjustments necessary during the later descent phase.
