A method and system for context sensitive navigation of an aircraft is provided. The method comprises obtaining data for use at takeoff, enroute, or at a destination, and interpreting the data to infer conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination. One or more viable flight plans are determined based on the conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination. The one or more viable flight plans are then presented to a pilot for optional selection. When there is more than one viable flight plan, a prioritized selectable list of flight plans is presented to the pilot.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for context sensitive navigation of an aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining data for use at takeoff, enroute, or at a destination; interpreting the data to infer conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination; determining one or more viable flight plans based on the conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination; and presenting the one or more viable flight plans to a pilot for optional selection, wherein when there is more than one viable flight plan, a prioritized selectable list of flight plans is presented to the pilot. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the selectable list of flight plans is prioritized such that an optimal flight plan is presented first on the list. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: selecting a flight plan from the list; and flying the aircraft according to the selected flight plan. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the data comprises one or more of runway environment information, current weather conditions, or weather forecast information. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data is obtained from a data link to a weather satellite, an XM radio satellite, or a ground-based radio network. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more viable flight plans are determined by: calculating crosswind performance capability; calculating crosswind components for available runways; and interpreting wind conditions. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the one or more viable flight plans are determined by: identifying available runways at the destination; and identifying an optimal runway at the destination based on the conditions. 8. method of claim 3, wherein the selected flight plan comprises an approach leg. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying the approach leg on a moving map. 10. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying a crosswind component overlay on an airport environment map. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the crosswind component overlay represents a wind sock. 12. A system for context sensitive navigation of an aircraft, the system comprising: a radio receiver for obtaining data for use at takeoff, enroute, or at a destination; a computer having program instructions operable to: interpret the data to infer conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination; and determine one or more viable flight plans based on the conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination; and a device for presenting the one or more viable flight plans to a pilot for optional selection, wherein when there is more than one viable flight plan, a prioritized selectable list of flight plans is presented to the pilot. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the radio receiver in communication operably communicates with a weather satellite, an XM radio satellite, or a ground-based radio network. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the device for presenting comprises a display screen, a user interface, or a synthetic speech output device. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein the selectable list of flight plans is prioritized such that an optimal flight plan is presented first on the list. 16. A computer program product, comprising: a computer readable medium having instructions operable to be executed to implement a method for context sensitive navigation of an aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining data for use at takeoff, enroute, or at a destination; interpreting the data to infer conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination; determining one or more viable flight plans based on the conditions during takeoff, enroute, or at the destination; and presenting the one or more viable flight plans to a pilot for optional selection, wherein when there is more than one viable flight plan, a prioritized selectable list of flight plans is presented to the pilot. 17. The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the selectable list of flight plans is prioritized such that an optimal flight plan is presented first on the list. 18. The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the one or more viable flight plans are determined by: calculating crosswind performance capability; calculating crosswind components for available runways; and interpreting wind conditions. 19. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the one or more viable flight plans are determined by: identifying available runways at the destination; and identifying an optimal runway at the destination based on the conditions. 20. The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the method farther comprises: displaying an approach leg on a moving map; and displaying a crosswind component overlay on an airport environment map.
