1. A system for initiating a command of an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a flight controller, wherein the flight controller is configured to:
identify an air position as a function of a sensor datum and a topographical datum using a similarity function, wherein the air position is denoted by an image vector, wherein the image vector comprises a data structure representing a plurality of categorized distances, and wherein a first categorized distance represents a first height of the electric aircraft above a physical feature and a second categorized distance represents a second height of the physical feature above ground or sea level;
determine a flight component command as a function of the air position, wherein determining the flight component command comprises identifying a flight component of the electric aircraft to be adjusted to perform the flight component command; and
initiate the flight component command to adjust the flight component.
