Claim 12:
13. A method for control of an aircraft, the method comprising:
determining sensor information with a sensor suite of the aircraft;
based on the sensor information, determining a flight command with an autonomous computing system onboard the aircraft using a set of pre-trained models of the autonomous computing system;
receiving the flight command at an application program interface (API) which is partitioned from the autonomous computing system;
validating the flight command, comprising:
in response to receiving the flight command at the API, validating a format compliance of the flight command received at the API;
in response to validating the format compliance of the flight command received at the API, providing the flight command in a human-interpretable format at a pilot validation interface; and
based on the provision of the flight command in the human-interpretable format at the pilot validation interface, determining a pilot validation of the flight command using the pilot validation interface; and

in response to determining the pilot validation, automatically facilitating execution of the flight command.
