What is it about?
The paper describes the adaptations we made to get NASA's cockpit-based route optimization software working on Alaska's Boeing 737-900ER, the testing that was performed on the ground and in the air, the FAA approvals that were required, and the software's performance on the initial flights prior to pilots actual using the tool. A complementary follow-on paper in 2019 will present the operational benefits seen over several months of use in revenue service.

Why is it important?
Moving software from a research environment to an airline operational environment is not common, nor is it trivial. This paper helps to explain the process and challenges, hopefully to help future projects achieve an equally ambitious goal.
