Method and system for automatically switching navigation modes for air mobility vehicles

A system for automatically determining a flight mode display for an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, comprising:

• a processor for a computing system onboard the eVTOL aircraft that accesses an airspace navigation database, where the processor,
• determines the flight rules and airspace type that are currently used by the eVTOL aircraft;
• and
• a flight display device that,
• automatically sets the flight mode display to a vectoring mode if instrument flight rules (IFR) are currently used by the eVTOL aircraft,
• automatically sets the flight mode display to a traffic avoidance mode if visual flight rules (VFR) are currently used in a congested airspace by the eVTOL aircraft,
• automatically sets the flight mode display to an auto-pilot mode if the eVTOL aircraft is operating in an urban air mobility (UAM) corridor, and
• automatically sets the flight mode display to a manual mode if a system failure of the auto-pilot mode occurs.
