AI emergency landing has been a problem fro day one.
1) For the landing back at a friendly field issue, perhaps, as Pursuivant mentioned, having airfield marker one can assign side to (Red Vs Blue) would allow a plane to look for friendly airfield close by to land. May still need substantial coding to achieve such AI improvement though.
2) Another aspect of AI landing is even more complex and potentially challenging to code: when a plane is in trouble and there is no airfield nearby, the AI has a choice to make - where to crash land. Right now AI plane often chooses to fly into mountain or landing into a forest - i.e. ensuring total destruction of its plane (and pilot) - rather than chancing it by picking a relatively flat field to land. This is something very natural for a human pilot but I imagine can be very hard to code into AI behavior.
