Methods and systems for conveying destination viability
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating analysis of landing an aircraft at an airport, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a display device, a map of the airport, the map including runway symbology corresponding to a runway at the airport;
determining a predicted stopping distance for the aircraft based at least in part on meteorological information associated with the airport; and
rendering a filled portion of the runway symbology on the map, wherein a length of the filled portion of the runway symbology corresponds to a ratio of the predicted stopping distance to a length of the runway.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for facilitating analysis and selection of a destination for operating a vehicle. One exemplary method facilitating analysis of landing an aircraft at an airport involves displaying a map of the airport that includes a graphical representation of a runway at the airport, determining a runway viability parameter for the runway using current status information associated with one or more of the aircraft and the airport, and displaying indicia of the runway viability parameter on the map in graphical association with the graphical representation of the runway, thereby providing indication of the value or state of the runway viability parameter for that runway on the airport map.

15. A system comprising:
-
a display device having an airport map including runway symbology corresponding to a runway at an airport displayed thereon; and a processing system coupled to the display device to; determine a predicted stopping distance for an aircraft based at least in part on meteorological information associated with the airport; and render a filled portion of the runway symbology on the map, wherein a length of the filled portion of the runway symbology corresponds to a ratio of the predicted stopping distance to a length of the runway. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A method of facilitating analysis of an airport, the method comprising:
-
displaying, on a display device onboard an aircraft, a map of an airport, the map including runway symbology corresponding to a runway at the airport; obtaining, by a processing system onboard the aircraft, current information associated with one or more of the vehicle and the airport from one or more onboard systems coupled to the processing system; calculating, by the processing system, a predicted stopping distance for the aircraft at the airport based at least in part on the current information; and rendering, by the processing system, a filled portion of the runway symbology using a visually distinguishable characteristic, wherein a length of the filled portion of the runway symbology corresponds to a ratio of the predicted stopping distance to a length of the runway. - View Dependent Claims (20)
