Abstract

Meteorological information of a target flight region is obtained. An impact on flight parameters of a simulation flight is determined based on the meteorological information. At least one limited flight parameter of the simulation flight is determined based on the impact on the flight parameters. A flight-limiting parameter of an aerial vehicle in the target flight region is determined based on the at least one limited flight parameter of the simulation flight. A flight-limiting indication is issued based on the flight-limiting parameter.
