Abstract
A system for assisting an aircraft in an emergency landing includes a processor with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code. The processor-executable code causes the processor to detect an all engine failure of an aircraft. In response to the detected all engine failure, the processor-executable code further causes the processor to determine at least one of an aerodynamic and environmental attribute associated with the aircraft and a descent rate of the aircraft based on the at least one aerodynamic and environmental attribute, calculate a maximum distance the aircraft can travel without engine power based on at least one of the attribute and descent rate; calculate a range for the aircraft based on the maximum distance; and generate a display of the range and provide the display to a display system of the aircraft.
