A performance and failure assessment monitor which assesses overall performance of the operation of the automatic landing mode of a flight control system for an aircraft. The monitor is connected to various sensors throughout the aircraft so that it can compare what the flight control system of the aircraft is accomplishing during a landing maneuver against an independent model generated within the monitor of what the flight control system should be accomplishing. The resultant comparison is displayed to the pilot as a measure of relative confidence that the landing will be accomplished properly. The monitor also includes failure verification and failure reversion control for making immediate and accurate assessments of the consequence of a failure of any component in the aircraft which in anyway affects the ability of the flight control and flight guidance instrument systems to operate properly, for correcting the failure when possible and for displaying only the critical failure information to the pilot of the aircraft.
