Do flight profiles correspond with flight phases?
Profiles are snapshots that represent combinations of influences. Profiles do not represent or correspond to flight phases. Said differently, FlightProfiler™ does not model dynamic flight phases (such as climb, top of descent, etc…). For example, the curve to the immediate left of the right vertical axis does not represent the flight on “short & final.” Instead, the slope of the line at that point represents if risk is increasing or decreasing at the destination.
