1. A method of generating and displaying a location, a time, and an amount of one or more transitions along a flight path of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving speed data, altitude data, and flight path data, including environment data, for a flight path of the vehicle;
generating, for each of one or more transitions along the flight path of the vehicle, at least one of a transition location, of upcoming locations along the flight path, a transition time, and a transition amount, based on:
the received speed data, altitude data, and flight path data,
a barometric pressure for each of the one or more transitions,
one or more boom values for each of the one or more transitions based on the barometric pressure for each of the one or more transitions, and
a permissible threshold boom value associated with each of the upcoming locations along the flight path;
outputting the generated transition location, transition time, and transition amount for the one or more transitions to a display system; and
controlling the vehicle through at least one of the one or more transitions.
