Decision-Making Model for Aircraft Landing Based on Fuzzy Logic Approach

An aircraft's landing stage involves inherent hazards and problems associated with many factors, such as weather, runway conditions, pilot experiences, etc.The pilot is responsible for selecting the proper landing procedure based on information provided by the landing console operator (LCO).Given the likelihood of human decisions due to errors and biases, creating an intelligent system becomes important to predict accurate decisions.This paper proposes the fuzzy logic method, which intends to handle the uncertainty and ambiguity inherent in the landing phase, providing intelligent decision support to the pilot while reducing the workload of the LCO.The fuzzy system, built using the Mamdani approach in MATLAB software, considers critical inputs like wind speed, wind direction, visibility, and runway condition to determine the landing's feasibility.The connection between the fuzzy rules is shown in the plotted curves, which indicate the smoothness and absence of overlap of decision-making rules for various input scenarios.A study employing data from Baghdad International Airport found that the proposed fuzzy approach predicted landing feasibility with an outstanding more than 85% accuracy across 20 different real-world scenarios.This level of reliability demonstrates how well the system can assess varied weather and runway conditions and identify the best landing decisions.
