A method for controlling deployment of an airbag relative to ground contact includes retrieving a predicted ground contact time for an aircraft from a crash prediction module, retrieving seat position measurements and occupant data for a seat in the aircraft, and comparing the predicted ground contact time, the seat position measurements and the occupant data to pre-established data to determine a custom airbag deployment time with respect to the predicted ground contact time, for at least one airbag on the aircraft. The method includes sending a signal to deploy the at least one airbag based on the custom airbag deployment time.
