Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide flight management systems and methods for managing aircraft flight control including a flight path or an altitude taking into account different weather conditions.SOLUTION: A decision support system 30 may be provided to select parameters for an FMS 32. These parameters may be fixed or dynamically changed during flight. The FMS 32 receives initial and optionally updated parameter information from a flight parameter selection module 34. Weather information and/or flight time information (e.g., departure time, current time, and/or estimated arrival time) are received by the flight parameter selection module 34, and the flight parameter selection module 34 outputs control parameters to the FMS 32. For example, a cost index (CI) value, a cruise altitude and/or a traverse flight path may be set or updated using the flight parameter selection module 34.
