Systems and methods are provided for providing interactive emergency landing assistance. Receiving a pilot incapacitation indication. Receiving aircraft state data from at least one avionics system of an aircraft. Transmitting an emergency landing assistance request and the aircraft state data to the ground station. Receiving a first landing instruction based on the aircraft state data from the ground station. Determining whether a pre-defined period of time has elapsed without implementation of the first landing instruction. Generating instruction details associated with the implementation of the first landing instruction based on the determination. Receiving updated aircraft state data from the at least one avionics system following the implementation of the first landing instruction.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a vehicle energy monitoring (VEM) platform configured to monitor one or more vehicles. An onboard VEM system associated with a vehicle is communicably coupled to a remote vehicle operation hub associated with the VEM platform and can monitor a current energy expenditure of the vehicle as the vehicle executes a trip plan. A vehicle performance prediction model is configured to determine a predicted energy expenditure of a vehicle. Embodiments are also configured to generate, based on output from the vehicle performance prediction model, a predicted energy visualization representing the predicted energy expenditure, where the predicted energy visualization corresponds to a defined leg between a plurality of flight phases associated with the trip plan, and where the predicted energy visualization is displayed on a situation interface in relation to the defined leg between the plurality of flight phases.

An alternate landing site selector system and apparatus utilizing a hierarchy calculator for automatically ranking a plurality of alternate landing sites by assigning a suitability value to each of the alternate landing sites corresponding to that site's suitability for landing, wherein the assigned suitability value is based on at least distance from the aircraft, runway length, terrain, or weather conditions. The system may assist the pilot (crew) in resolving or reducing the urgency of an emergency or in executing a proposed solution to a given emergency, or may direct the aircraft autopilot in executing the suggested (and selected) solution. In either case, the system of the present invention provides the pilot with time to consider an emergency and its resolution (while the aircraft is directed toward a safe configuration or flight condition. The present invention may also ascertain the configuration of an aircraft from changes in the aircraft's position over time, or update an aircraft in preparation for a particular flight or flight condition.
