1. A graphical display system, comprising:
- one or more sensors for obtaining data, wherein the data obtained includes position and trajectory data for a craft and airport data;
a display element for displaying graphics and data; and
at least one processor coupled to the one or more sensors, wherein, based on data received from the one or more sensors regarding craft position and trajectory relative to an airport, the at least one processor determines if a runway is being targeted, selects which runway guides and alerts to display based on data obtained and runway targeted, and sends signals to the display element to display the targeted runway with the selected runway guides and alerts,wherein displaying runway alerts and guides includes at least one of;
fading in runway alerts and guides for a targeted runway;
ordisplaying perspective runway distance remaining markers at fixed display positions along the displayed runway.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of providing a visual runway awareness and advisory display, the method comprising:
-
receiving craft position and trajectory data; receiving runway status data;
determining when a runway is being targeted;selecting runway guides and alerts to display with a targeted runway based on runway status of the targeted runway, craft position and craft trajectory; and displaying runway guides and alerts on a graphical display with the targeted runway, wherein determining when a runway is being targeted includes obtaining data from a flight plan indicating a runway is to be targeted. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
