Abstract
An aircraft taxi path guidance and display system is provided. The aircraft taxi path guidance and display system includes or cooperates with at least one source of aircraft status data, and a source of airport feature data associated with an airport field. The aircraft taxi path guidance and display system includes a processor operationally coupled to the source of aircraft status data and to the source of airport feature data. In response to aircraft status data and airport feature data, the processor predicts undesired deviations from an active surface area (e.g., an excursion). The processor generates corrective action associated with the excursion, and displays symbology that is graphically representative of the corrective action.
