Abstract
A system is described. The system predicts a landing runway for the aircraft. The landing runway is predicted using geometry and parameters which describe the position of the aircraft in space. The parameters include track alignment, vector alignment, vertical alignment, in-approach geometry, and in-flight plan. The parameters are combined to determine runway alignment scores for each runway. The runway alignment scores indicate how well the aircraft is aligned with the runways. The parameters are not equal in their contribution to the decision-making process and need to be weighted. The parameters are normalized, weighted, and summed to determine the runway alignment score.
