According to an aspect, a method of performing context-aware landing zone classification for an aircraft includes accessing a landing zone map, by a context-aware landing zone classification system of the aircraft, to identify potential landing zones. A database on the aircraft includes land cover map data and impervious surface map data. The database is queried to extract context data. The context data include land cover characteristics and impervious surface characteristics associated with locations corresponding to the landing zone map. The context-aware landing zone classification system of the aircraft evaluates the potential landing zones in view of the context data to adjust classifications of the potential landing zones and produce a context-aware landing zone classification of the potential landing zones. The context-aware landing zone classification of the potential landing zones is provided to landing zone selection logic of the aircraft to select a final landing zone.
