Abstract

A landing zone evaluation and rating sharing system includes a central processor unit (CPU), at least one sensor input operatively connected to the CPU, a communication controller operatively connected to the CPU, the communication controller being operable to pass data to other systems associated with the aerial vehicle, and a landing zone (LZ) evaluation controller operatively coupled to a non-volatile computer readable storage medium having computer readable program instructions embodied therewith. The computer readable program instructions are executable by the central processor unit to receive data received through the at least one sensor input, evaluate the data to determine a LZ rating for a particular landing zone, and communicate the LZ rating to one or more systems associated with the aerial vehicle.
