1. A system for providing landing area information on an active display on a display device in a cockpit of an aircraft, the system comprising:
a database having data stored therein that is indicative of a landing area environment;
a runway overrun awareness alerting system (ROAAS) configured to supply at least ROAAS elements and ROAAS alerts;
a surface indication alert system (SurfIA) configured to supply SurfIA elements and SurfIA alerts;
a traffic data source configured to supply of traffic data; and
a controller circuit in operable communication with the database, the SurfIA, and the traffic data source, the controller configured to receive the ROAAS elements and alerts, the SurfIA elements and alerts, the landing area environment, and the traffic data, the controller circuit configured by non-transitory programming instructions to:
identify a landing location;
construct a graphical insert that depicts the landing area environment as a two-dimensional area that includes the landing location rendered therein in a first visualization scheme;
overlay the graphical insert on a predefined portion of the active display;
indicate a target exit on the landing location;
responsive to a ROAAS alert, (i) alter the rendering of the landing location to a second visualization scheme that is visually distinguishable from the first visualization scheme, and (ii) render respective ROAAS elements on the landing location within the landing area environment; and
responsive to a SurfIA alert, indicate traffic symbols in a third visualization scheme associated with a traffic in the SurfIA alert on the landing area environment.
