    Abstract: A flight deck system and a method for providing a flight crew with a ground path to a destination at an aerodrome for taxiing is disclosed. The flight deck system includes a controller configured to: set a destination point on the ground at the aerodrome for an airborne aircraft that is preparing to land; estimate a stopping point for the aircraft on a runway; and predict a ground path for the aircraft to follow at the aerodrome from the runway to the destination point. To predict the controller is further configured to: determine a starting point on the runway for the predicted ground path; and determine a runway exit point to a taxiway. The controller is further configured to cause the predicted ground path to be displayed on a flight deck display device.

    Abstract: A database driven input system and a method for operating the same are provided. The database driven input system, for example, may include, but is not limited to, a memory configured to store a database comprising airport information, a touchscreen display, and a processor communicatively coupled to the touchscreen display and the database system, the processor configured to generate a database driven taxiway input interface comprising a database driven keyboard input interface, the database driven keyboard input interface comprising a smart keyboard configured to prevent invalid input based upon the airport information in the database, display the database driven taxiway input interface on the touchscreen display, receive an input from the touchscreen display, and dynamically update the database driven keyboard input interface based upon the input to the touchscreen display.

    Abstract: A system and method for operating a dynamic vertical situation display on an aircraft includes generating display data for a dynamic vertical situation display displayed on a display based upon flight plan data from a flight management system, where the flight plan data includes a plurality of waypoints and one or more phases of flight. A current phase of flight of the aircraft and a number of waypoints currenting displayed on the dynamic vertical situation display on the display is determined, and instructions to dynamically change a size of the dynamic vertical situation display on the display are generated based upon at least one of the number of waypoints currenting displayed on the display and the current phase of flight of the aircraft.

    Abstract: A method and system for use onboard an ownship, the method includes generating on a cockpit display an alignment symbol, track bug, and heading bug to aid to align a track angle and heading of the ownship with a runway course by a pilot; and enabling a pilot to view the alignment symbol, the track bug and the heading bug and to maneuver the ownship to maintain first, an alignment of the heading to the runway course and second, to attempt to align a track angle of the ownship with the runway course by adjustments made to maneuver the ownship in a course of landing by a view of a relative position of each of the alignment symbol, the track bug, and the heading bug to each other to serve as an indicator to the pilot of adjustments needed in the course of landing.
