Abstract

Traditional approaches to predicting aircraft trajectories using kinematic models cannot work due to the complexity of the approach maneuver including flaps/slats, landing gear, ATC vectors, winds, and other traffic. The methods and systems disclosed can utilize Big Data Analytics (e.g., massive amounts of data of flights on each approach) to nowcast the approach stability given the state of the flight prior to the 1000'/500′ check points.
