摘要：	Achieving the National Academy of Science’s vision of advanced aerial mobility will depend on significant developments in automation to achieve safe and efficient operations. Flight path management (FPM) is a major category of automation functionality needed to achieve this vision. FPM will provide dynamic management of an aircraft’s flight path, ensuring that it continues to meet five objectives: it is feasible to fly to mission completion, deconflicted from hazards, coordinated with other traffic, flexible to accommodate future disturbances, and optimized to meet business objectives. While efforts are underway to advance FPM technology for the Urban Air Mobility application, the authors present initial design guidelines for FPM automation capabilities to achieve each of its five objectives based on 15 years of prior FPM automation research and development.

We make recommendations supported by extensive experience gained via previous work with the Autonomous Operations Planner, an FPM reference automation system developed by NASA. By employing capable FPM automation supported by cooperative operational flight rules and information sharing, future aircraft operators will benefit from an increased ability to plan and execute safe and efficient flights to achieve mission success in a dynamic airspace.ctions between aircraft.
