Abstract
A system for monitoring the landing zone of an electric aircraft, the system including an electric aircraft wherein the electric aircraft includes at least a sensor configured to measure a plurality of data of regarding a first potential landing zone and transmit the plurality of data to at least a flight controller. The flight controller is designed and configured to receive the plurality of data from at least a sensor, determine a landing safety datum as a function of the plurality of data and at least a safety parameter range, and transmit the landing safety datum to an output device. The output device is designed and configured to receive the plurality of data from the flight controller, and display, to the pilot, the landing safety datum and a locator component designed and configured to capture a second potential landing zone that is distinct from the first potential landing zone.
