Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining diversion airports for landing an aircraft in adverse conditions. A communication device is configured to facilitate the transmission and display of flight information. A ground based monitoring server (GBMS) communicates with the aircraft over a wireless communication channel. The GBMS has a diversion landing prediction assistance system (DLPAS) that communicates with and queries an aircraft flight parameter database, an airport parameter database, and an airport weather database. The DLPAS monitors parameters from the databases, determines a destination probability of the aircraft to land at the destination airport based on the monitored parameters, and, when the destination probability for a successful landing is less than a predetermined destination threshold, selects a diversion airport to land the aircraft. The GBMS transmits the selected diversion airport to the aircraft.
