Abstract
A method for receiving data onboard an aircraft is provided. The method obtains a plurality of aircraft transponder messages associated with a particular landing zone; extracts, from each of the plurality of aircraft transponder messages, aircraft position data associated with landing at least one lead aircraft at the particular landing zone; and determines a landing path for use by the aircraft to land at the particular landing zone, based on the extracted aircraft position data.
