1. A runway awareness and advisory system (RAAS) for an aircraft, comprising:
an output device;
a processor in operable communication with the output device, the processor configured to execute program instructions, wherein the program instructions are configured to cause the processor to:
receive flight plan data including a planned departure runway from a Flight Management System (FMS);
receive position data for the aircraft from a sensor system of the aircraft;
identify a current runway based at least on the position data;
compare the current runway with the planned departure runway to provide a comparison result;
determine whether the aircraft is taking off based on data from the sensor system;
identify an approaching intersecting runway that crosses the current runway;
output, by the output device, an approaching intersecting runway advisory message of the approaching intersecting runway when the comparison result indicates the current runway and the planned departure runway do not match, and the aircraft is determined not to be taking off; and
inhibit the approaching intersecting runway advisory message of the approaching intersecting runway when the aircraft is determined to be taking off, and the comparison result indicates the current runway and the planned departure runway match.
