Default Request Priority For Landing And Light Guns

Offline, I have noticed damaged AI piloted planes flying the pattern waiting their turn to land at an airport only to crash before their turn comes up. I wonder if it would make sense for AI aircraft to request landing priority in cases of low fuel, damage or wounded crew?

I have read that 8th Airforce B-17's shot off flares near the field when they were returning with wounded crew.

On a separate topic, I have also read that some American control towers used light guns with green, red and white colors to communicate with aircraft that did not have radios. I do not know if other countries also used this system but it might be fun to incorporate it into the game.
