contents We present an eikonal-based approach that is capable of finding a continuous globally optimal trajectory for an aircraft in a stationary wind field. This minimizes emissions and fuel consumption. If the destination is close to a cut locus of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, small numerical discretization errors can lead to selecting a merely locally optimal trajectory and missing the globally optimal one. Based on finite element error estimates, we construct a trust region around the cut loci in order to guarantee uniqueness of trajectories for destinations sufficiently far from cut loci.
