1. A flight augmentation system comprising:
an optical sensor configured to capture optical information;
a processor communicatively coupled to the optical sensor and configured to process the captured optical information, the process the captured optical information including:
determine, based at least in part on the captured optical information, one or more flight parameters, aircraft configurations, or combinations thereof;
evaluate one or more flight parameters, aircraft configurations, or combinations thereof to determine a flight condition; and
based at least in part on the determined flight condition, send a control command to an actuator, provide a warning to a user, upload data to a remote storage device, request a determined input from the user, recommend an action by the user, or a combination thereof.
