Abstract:
Flight deck display systems and methods for generating cockpit displays including dynamic taxi turnoff icons are provided. In one embodiment, the flight deck display system includes a display device, a memory storing an airport map database, and a controller operably coupled to the display device and to the memory. The controller is configured to recall information from the airport map database pertaining to a runway cleared for usage by the aircraft. The controller further identifies a taxi exit along the runway based, at least in part, on the information recalled from the airport map database. The controller then generates a dynamic taxi turnoff icon on the display device including symbology representative of the runway and the location of the taxi exit along the runway.
