1. A method, comprising:

  • inputting manually, prior to landing, at least one new landing parameter to generate current landing parameters comprising the at least one new landing parameter and default landing parameters, said at least one new landing parameter including a selected position on a particular runway and a specified velocity at said selected position, said selected position and specified velocity selectable independent of one another;

    determining updated predicted landing performance based on the current landing parameters and aircraft performance parameters prior to landing, said determining comprising a computer executing programmed instructions residing in memory; and

    displaying an updated airport map which displays a currently selected runway with updated indicia of updated predicted landing performance for at least one exit taxiway of the currently selected runway, wherein the updated indicia of updated predicted landing performance include a recommended setting for an automatic braking system that will provide dynamic braking to slow an aircraft to said selected velocity at said selected position on the currently selected runway, manually selecting said setting.
