Desarrollo de una herramienta de cálculo del plan de vuelo alternativo en Dynamo3

This project addresses the development of an orchestration layer, or framework, in Python designed to complement the Dynamo3 trajectory calculation tool, enabling the automated calculation of alternate fuel in compliance with current aeronautical regulations. The work begins with an exhaustive review of pertinent regulations, primarily ICAO Annex 6, Regulation (EU) 965/2012 and Doc9976 from ICAO, to establish safety and fuel planning requirements. This includes scenarios such as the use of one or two alternate aerodromes, flights without an alternate, and operations at isolated aerodromes. Based on these principles, a calculation logic has been implemented that interacts with the Dynamo3 core, managing route generation, iterative simulation execution, and the integration of results into the main flight configuration. To verify the tool's reliability, a comparative validation was carried out using real flight plans-specifically Madrid-Panama and Barcelona-Halifax routes. The results demonstrate that the framework provides a precise approximation, although it is slightly more efficient in terms of fuel consumption than the real-world cases analyzed. Additionally, a sensitivity study was conducted to evaluate the influence of meteorology and the geographic location of alternates on fuel consumption. Finally, the document presents a design proposal for the future integration of these functionalities into the Dynamo3 web interface (Dynamo3 Web) and concludes by highlighting the project's contribution to sustainability, enabling a more precise adjustment of required fuel without compromising operational safety.
