1. A system for generating a terminal approach procedure interface, the system comprising:
a plurality of data sources providing aircraft data associated with a selected aircraft, airport data associated with at least one airport and real-time weather data associated with a set of possible routes between a selected departure airport and at least one destination airport;
a computing device comprising a computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operative upon execution by a processor to:
provide, via user interface device, an integrated approach interface comprising a map interface and a procedure side bar including integrated terminal approach data associated with the set of possible routes based on the aircraft data, the real-time weather data and the airport data, wherein data displayed within the integrated approach interface is customized for the selected aircraft, the at least one destination airport and the real-time weather data associated with the at least one destination airport;
generate a set of recommendations based on an evaluation of the integrated terminal approach data and real-time weather data updates, the set of recommendations comprising a set of recommended routes selected from the set of possible routes; and
update the integrated approach interface in response to a selected route from the set of recommended routes, wherein the update comprises displaying data associated with the selected route and removing data associated with other routes from the set of recommended routes from the map interface and the procedure side bar;
while the selected aircraft is in route along the selected route to the at least one destination airport:
provide terminal approach procedures data associated with selected route within the procedures side bar in a linear table view;
access weather thresholds for a pilot associated with the selected aircraft;
based on an updated evaluation of the integrated terminal approach data, the aircraft data, the real-time weather data, the airport data associated with the at least one destination airport, and the weather thresholds for the pilot, adjust one or more parameters of landing procedures within the terminal approach procedures; and
present the adjusted landing procedures within the procedures side bar in a linear table view.
