  • accessing a landing zone map, by a context-aware landing zone classification system of the aircraft, to identify potential landing zones;

    querying a database on the aircraft comprising land cover map data and impervious surface map data to extract context data, the context data comprising land cover characteristics and impervious surface characteristics associated with locations corresponding to the landing zone map;

    evaluating, by the context-aware landing zone classification system of the aircraft, the potential landing zones in view of the context data to adjust classifications of the potential landing zones and produce a context-aware landing zone classification of the potential landing zones; and

    providing the context-aware landing zone classification of the potential landing zones to landing zone selection logic of the aircraft to select a final landing zone.
