This report describes the functional and logical structure of the Flight Cost Model (FCM) computer program modules which were developed to simulate air traffic operations in oceanic areas. The FCM modules include the: network generating routine, track setting routines, meteorology routine, flight planning model (FPM), flight tracking model (FTM) and report generating package. The organization of each and the interrelation between these programs are addressed in the report. See also Volume 10, AD-A123 834.
