Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and systems for inferring aircraft parameters.SOLUTION: Provided are methods and systems suitable for inferring trajectory predictor parameters of aircraft for the purpose of predicting aircraft trajectories. The methods and systems involve receiving trajectory prediction information regarding aircraft, and then using this information to infer (extract) trajectory predictor parameters of the aircraft that are otherwise unknown to a ground automation system. The trajectory predictor parameters can then be applied to one or more trajectory predictors of the ground automation system to predict a trajectory of the aircraft. In certain embodiments, the methods and systems can utilize available air-ground communication link capabilities, which may include data link capabilities available as part of trajectory-based operations (TBO).
