Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the aircraft is configured for receiving different jet fuel types having corresponding energy densities, the method further comprising:
determining an energy density of each available jet fuel type of each landing site of the flight plan;
determining an emission rating of each available jet fuel type of each landing site; and
comparing the emission rating of each available jet fuel type of each landing site to the emission standard for each landing site,
wherein calculating the energy load for each flight leg comprises calculating the energy load based on the energy density of each available jet fuel type, and
wherein calculating the fuel value score comprises calculating the fuel amount and associated emissions cost at each landing site based on comparing the emission rating of each available jet fuel type of each landing site to the emission standard.
