1. A method of assisting operation of an aircraft, the method comprising:
analyzing a first transcription of a preceding audio communication to identify an air traffic control (ATC) assignment for an operational subject of the preceding audio communication with respect to the aircraft by performing semantic analysis of the first transcription of the preceding audio communication using natural language processing to identify an intent of the preceding audio communication;
determining an expected clearance communication for the aircraft based at least in part on the ATC assignment, wherein the expected clearance communication includes an assigned value for the operational subject;
identifying a second audio communication corresponding to the expected clearance communication for the aircraft; and
when a discrepancy between a second transcription of the second audio communication and the expected clearance communication exists:
determining an expected parameter value comprising a preceding ATC assignment issued to another aircraft for the operational subject of the second transcription of the second audio communication based at least in part on a transcribed textual representation of one or more preceding audio communications previously communicated for other aircraft maintained in a data storage element;
augmenting the second transcription of the second audio communication in real-time to include the expected parameter value for the operational subject, resulting in an augmented transcription of the second audio communication including the expected parameter value comprising the preceding ATC assignment for the operational subject; and
providing a graphical representation of the augmented transcription of the second audio communication comprising the expected parameter value comprising the preceding ATC assignment for the operational subject and including a graphical indication of the discrepancy.
