Systems for Assisting Pilots with Emergency Landings

A system for assisting pilots with an emergency landing of an aircraft, comprising:

• a memory device storing computer executable instructions;
• a processor in data communication with the memory device, the processor configured to:
• execute the computer executable instructions;
• and
• generate display instructions;
• and
• a display in data communication with the processor and configured to display an indicator based on the display instructions generated by the processor;
• wherein the computer executable instructions include instructions for:
• determining current flight capabilities of the aircraft at a given moment;
• identifying an airport near the aircraft at the given moment;
• determining required flight capabilities of the aircraft necessary for the aircraft to land safely at the airport at the given moment;
• comparing the current flight capabilities of the aircraft with the required flight capabilities of the aircraft necessary for the aircraft to land safely at the airport;
• and
• determining the indicator to display on the display based on the comparison of the current flight capabilities of the aircraft with the required flight capabilities of the aircraft necessary for the aircraft to land safely at the airport.
