1. A system for landing an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a controller communicatively connected to at least one sensor, wherein the controller is configured to:
receive, from the at least one sensor, a plurality of measured flight data;
determine a descent confirmation as a function of the plurality of measured flight data; and
generate a descent instruction set based on the descent confirmation and the plurality of measured flight data, wherein generating the descent instruction set further comprises:
generating a transition instruction set; and
communicating the descent instruction set to a pilot.
