Abstract (en)
- Method and system for automatically determining a list of ranked optimal diversion airports suitable for the landing of an aircraft.- The system (1) comprises a module (3) for searching by iteration for airports from on-board database (DB1) and on-ground database (DB2). The airports are searched in a circle having a centre corresponding to the current position of the aircraft and a radius that increases from an initial radius by a predetermined increment on each iteration which is carried out until the radius is greater than or equal to a maximum radius. The system (1) further comprises a module (5) for ranking the airports considering a quantity of fuel on board of the aircraft so as to establish a list of ranked airports, a module (6) for transmitting to a user unit (7) a signal representative of the list of ranked airports. The system allows the reduction of the pilot's workload as the system (1) take into account information from on-board and on-ground databases.
