Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system, device and method for emergency landing assistance that leverages intelligent planning along with existing and acquired information to maximize the likelihood of locating and confirming a safe emergency landing site for an aircraft. Embodiments can determine candidate landing sites based upon input from one or more GIS data sources, airport data sources and sensor data. Embodiments can include a candidate landing site identification component, a candidate site evaluation component, a candidate site selection component, a route planning component and/or a real-time site assessment component. Determining a preferred route can be based on the total risk and/or suitability assessment for one or more candidate landing sites. In various embodiments, notifications such as recommended courses of action can be issued based upon a suitability assessment.
