 | | While we have shown two iterations in the process of delay estimation, it is within the scope of the invention to use further iterations as well, so that the result of the process in box 18 may be used as a further basis for redetermining the respective delay contributions and the resultant overall delay. |
 | | For purposes of example, and in a common implementation, the"aircraft" may be an airplane, a"planned"flight may be a scheduled flight of an airplane operated by an airline, and the"fleet"may be the airplanes operated by an airline. |
 | | Indeed, as an alternative to using an airline designator and airline flight number, one may, for example, identify a flight by aircraft tail number, scheduled departure time and departure airport. |
