In order to solve the aircraft scheduling problem on aircraft carrier platform, the cross entropy method is used to research on approach sequencing of shipboard aircraft. The approach sequencing model based on single runway of aircraft carrier is established, cross entropy method is applied to solve approach sequencing, and finally, the model algorithm is verified by data simulation. The simulation results show that the optimization algorithm can solve approach shipboard aircraft sequencing with changing fewer sorties and less total delay time, and it can reduce the delay time of aircraft, and has strong practicability.
