A dual agent reinforcement learning autonomous system (DARLAS) for the autonomous operation of aircraft and/or provide pilot assistance. DARLAS includes an artificial neural network, safe agent, and cost agent. The safe agent is configured to calculate safe reward Q values associated with landing the aircraft at a predetermined destination or calculated emergency destination. The cost agent is configured to calculate cost reward Q values associated with maximum fuel efficiency and aircraft performance. The safe and cost reward Q values are based on state-action vectors associated with an aircraft, which may include state data and action data. The system may include a user output device that provides an indication of an action to a user. The action corresponds to an agent action having the highest safe reward Q value and the highest cost require Q value. DARLAS prioritizes the highest safe reward Q value in the event of conflict.
