Methods and systems are provided for operating a vehicle that supports an automated action, such as an aircraft supporting autopilot, autothrottle, and various other autonomous operations and operating modes. One exemplary method of operating a vehicle involves obtaining one or more user inputs pertaining to an automated action to be performed by an onboard system, obtaining current vehicle status information, determining an operational objective for the automated action based at least in part on the current status information and the one or more user inputs, and providing guidance information pertaining to the automated action in a manner that is influenced by the operational objective and the current status information. For example, the guidance information may include indication of a remedial action to resolve a discrepancy between the operational objective and a projected aircraft behavior in the context of the operational objective or the current vehicle status.
