An aircraft landing event system 120 comprises a processor coupled with memory storing aircraft landing event data (e.g. of the aircraft and other aircraft). The processor receives environment information representative of a condition of a runway 20 approached by an aircraft 10 (e.g. an atmospheric and a surface condition) and retardation information representative of a retardation demand of the aircraft during an anticipated landing event on the runway (e.g. a deceleration, brake or thrust reverser demand or landing speed). The processor is selects aircraft landing event data from the memory based on the environment and retardation information and uses it to determine a performance indicator (e.g. landing distance) for the landing event. E.g. it may implement a machine learning technique to select event data comprising environmental conditions and retardation demands like the received environment and retardation information. The processor communicates the performance indicator to a landing system of the aircraft.
