An in-flight loss of thrust poses a risk to the aircraft, its passengers, and people on the ground. When a loss of thrust happens, the (auto)pilot is forced to perform an emergency landing, possibly toward one of the reachable airports. If none of the airports is reachable, the aircraft is forced to land at another location, which can be risky in urban environments. In this work, we present a gene...
