According to an aspect of the invention, a method of probabilistic safe landing area determination for an aircraft includes receiving sensor data indicative of current conditions at potential landing areas for the aircraft. Feature extraction on the sensor data is performed. A processing subsystem of the aircraft updates a probabilistic safe landing area map based on comparing extracted features of the sensor data with a probabilistic safe landing area model. The probabilistic safe landing area model defines probabilities that terrain features are suitable for safe landing of the aircraft. A list of ranked landing areas is generated based on the probabilistic safe landing area map.
