An alternate landing site selector system and apparatus utilizing a hierarchy calculator for automatically ranking a plurality of alternate landing sites by assigning a suitability value to each of the alternate landing sites corresponding to that site's suitability for landing, wherein the assigned suitability value is based on at least distance from the aircraft, runway length, terrain, or weather conditions. The system may assist the pilot (crew) in resolving or reducing the urgency of an emergency or in executing a proposed solution to a given emergency, or may direct the aircraft autopilot in executing the suggested (and selected) solution. In either case, the system of the present invention provides the pilot with time to consider an emergency and its resolution (while the aircraft is directed toward a safe configuration or flight condition. The present invention may also ascertain the configuration of an aircraft from changes in the aircraft's position over time, or update an aircraft in preparation for a particular flight or flight condition.
