Abstract

A system, device, and method for generating at least one advisory presentable on one or more presentation units are disclosed, where the advisory may draw an operator's attention to future turns of the vehicle such as, but not limited to, an aircraft. An advisory generator (“AG”) may be configured to receive navigation data; receive feature data representative of one or more edges associated with the designated surface and location/coordinate information associated with one or more nodes of each edge; generate an advisory data set representative of one or more first distances in response to the determination; and provide the advisory data set to the presentation system. The designated surface could include a landing runway, a takeoff runway, and/or a current surface upon which the vehicle operates. One first distance may be a shortest distance (i.e., a distance to the closest intersection).
