Abstract

A method of providing a first set of computer systems with access to a recommendation pertaining to operation of one aircraft in one or more fleets of aircraft is disclosed. Operations data is collected at the first set of computer systems. The operations data pertains to operations of the one or more fleets of aircraft over a time period. The operations data is stored in one or more databases of a second set of computer systems. The operations data includes values corresponding to fields in the one or more databases. The fields represent at least one of policy data pertaining to one or more operations policies, flight schedule data pertaining to one or more flight schedules, and operating cost data pertaining to operating costs associated with the one or more fleets of aircraft. Assumptions of control input values are derived for use by the first set of computer systems based on the operations data. A cost savings analysis is performed with a simulation system for at least one aircraft of the one or more fleets of aircraft, the cost savings analysis including identifying a modification of at least one of the control input values. An estimated reduction of operating costs is computed for the aircraft over one or more time periods. The computing is based on comparisons of a first subset of the operations data with a second subset of the operations data.
