1. An aircraft monitoring system for an electric aircraft, wherein
the aircraft monitoring system comprises:
at least a sensor configured to generate a failure datum, wherein the failure datum includes a datum regarding a condition of an electric motor;
a crew alerting system (CAS) in electronic communication with the at least a sensor, wherein the CAS is comprised of at least a computing device, wherein the at least a computing device is configured to:
generate a checklist comprising a plurality of branches, each branch comprising a plurality of remedy data configured to address the failure datum for the electric motor;
determine a first branch of the plurality of branches as a function of the failure datum;
display the plurality of remedy data for the first branch using a pilot display, wherein the plurality of remedy data is displayed with increasing intrusiveness from a least intrusive remedy that is expected to be the least intrusive to a flight plan or operation of the aircraft to a most intrusive remedy that is expected to be the most intrusive to a flight plan or operation of the aircraft;
prompt a pilot to apply a remedy datum of the plurality of remedy data for the first branch using the pilot display as a function of the plurality of remedy data, wherein correlations between the failure datum and the remedy datum are generated from past failure data and past remedy data;
apply the remedy datum; and
provide an indication of the condition of the electric motor using the pilot display as a function of the application of the remedy datum.
