Abstract
An aircraft guidance and piloting system automatically guides and pilots an aircraft in the event a pilot is unable to guide or pilot the aircraft. Upon determining the pilot's inability to control the aircraft, a processor transmits an automatic engagement command to a control unit. The control unit guides and pilots the aircraft to an alternative airport for landing.
