Abstract
An aircraft taxi route display system may include a user interface including a display device and a user input, a computer including a computer processor and a computer storage device, wherein the computer is in communication with the user interface, and/or a communications link capable of receiving at least one airport characteristic, wherein the communications link is in communication with the computer processor, and the computer processor is configured to present an aircraft taxi route. A method may include capturing at least one of at least one taxi turn direction or at least one taxi distance, accepting from a user input a selection of at least one of at least one taxi turn direction or at least one taxi distance, clearing an aircraft taxi route from the selection of at least one of at least one taxi turn direction or at least one taxi distance, and displaying the aircraft taxi route.
