Within an Air Traffic Control (ATC) context many applications exist for off-line trajectory reconstruction such as evaluation of tracking or navigation systems and accident/incident investigations. Since the introduction of Jump-Linear models and associated filtering techniques enabled significant improvements in tracking small targets with useful applications to ATC one may expect that parallel developments in smoothing for Jump Linear systems enable similarly useful applications to aircraft trajectory reconstruction. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the validity of this expectation.
