Abstract:
An apparatus for guiding a transition between flight modes of an electric aircraft is illustrated. The apparatus comprises at least a sensor configured to detect a movement datum of the electric aircraft and a flight controller communicatively connected to the at least sensor, wherein the flight controller is configured to receive the movement datum from the at least a sensor, determine a current flight mode of the electric aircraft as a function of a pilot input and the movement datum, generate a guidance datum as a function of a change in flight mode and the movement datum, and communicate the guidance datum to a pilot indicator in communication with the at least a sensor and flight controller communicatively connected to the at least a sensor.
