Claim Text:
1. A method for displaying aircraft taxi path guidance on a display unit in an aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining aircraft status data comprising heading data, steering angle and differential speed of the main landing gear; obtaining airport feature data; processing, by a processor, the aircraft status data and the airport feature data to (i) generate a trend line that represents an aircraft predicted taxi path, and (ii) wherein a surface area within the airport in which the aircraft may safely travel comprises an airport active surface area, predict an excursion when an intersection of the aircraft predicted taxi path with a shoulder of an airport active surface area occurs within a predetermined distance threshold; in response to predicting the excursion, generating, corrective action associated with the excursion, wherein the corrective action is based on the differential speed of the main landing gear; and displaying, on the display unit, symbology that is graphically representative of (i) the trend line, and (ii) the corrective action.
