Abstract
On reaching an approach area to a destination airport, the aircraft is provided with up-to-date topographical information and route information in addition to a destination position on the ground. Wireless communication technologies, such as GSM, GPRS, UMTS, WLan, WiMax, and the like are used to transmit this information. Advantageously, the transmitted information can be displayed on a commercially available navigation system on board the aircraft and can be used for navigation on the ground.
