A system that may receive and compile data in-flight from an onboard weather radar device, as well as other information from other sources while an aircraft travels along a flight path. The system may compare the received information to the observed flight path for an aircraft and generate a suggested improved flight path based on the received information. The system may also consider historical information from previous flights, including historical weather information associated with the previous flight paths, amount of fuel used, time enroute, and similar factors. The system may present actual historical flights along with a comparison to a suggested improved flight path for each of the historical flights. The comparison may provide training for flight operations planning, and the flight crew, that showcase the benefits of following the suggested improved flight paths.
