One or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) having a ground map stored therein are employed to assist an aircraft in landing at an airfield. A determination is made that the aircraft requires assistance landing at the airfield. Instructions are sent to the one or more UAVs to synchronize a flight path with the aircraft. The one or more UAVs receive sensor data regarding conditions surrounding the aircraft and the airfield. The aircraft is controlled by the one or more based upon the ground map, the flight characteristic profile, and the group map. The controlling of the aircraft by the one or more UAVs is discontinued upon the aircraft landing at the airfield.
