Abstract
This chapter presents flight planning and management. Basic aspects of the ICAO flight plan from the operational perspective are presented in Sect. 10.1. Some fuel management aspects are discussed in Sect. 10.3. Numerical examples of short-haul and long-haul flight plans and navigation logs are given in Sects. 10.2 and 10.4, respectively. Section 10.5 approaches flight plan implementation (execution) in flight. Section 10.6 presents the key points in a flight trajectory: point of equal time and point of no return.
