A graphical user interface system for facilitating aircraft approach and landing, the system comprising: a database storing airfield information for at least one airfield and associated one or more approach patterns, the airfield information including runway information; a display screen with user input interface, a processing unit in signal communication with the database, one or more aircraft sensors, and the display screen, which processing unit is configured to receive aircraft location and movement information from the one or more aircraft sensors, airfield information from the database, and user input from the user input interface, to determine display content and format of the display content on the display screen, the processing unit being configured to: • display an overhead graphical view on the display screen, the overhead graphical view including the at least one airfield with a selectable airfield indicator; • after receipt of an airfield selection, display on the overhead graphical view each runway at the selected airfield with a selectable runway indicator located adjacent the beginning of the image of the corresponding runway; • after receipt of a runway selection, display on the overhead graphical view a plurality of selectable visual flight rules approach type indicators, each of the plurality of selectable approach pattern type indicators located before the beginning of the selected runway and corresponding spatially to a respective VFR approach pattern; and • after receipt of an approach type selection, display on the overhead graphical view a selected VFR approach pattern. a database storing airfield information for at least one airfield and associated one or more approach patterns, the airfield information including runway information; a display screen with user input interface, a processing unit in signal communication with the database, one or more aircraft sensors, and the display screen, which processing unit is configured to receive aircraft location and movement information from the one or more aircraft sensors, airfield information from the database, and user input from the user input interface, to determine display content and format of the display content on the display screen, the processing unit being configured to: • display an overhead graphical view on the display screen, the overhead graphical view including the at least one airfield with a selectable airfield indicator; • after receipt of an airfield selection, display on the overhead graphical view each runway at the selected airfield with a selectable runway indicator located adjacent the beginning of the image of the corresponding runway; • after receipt of a runway selection, display on the overhead graphical view a plurality of selectable visual flight rules approach type indicators, each of the plurality of selectable approach pattern type indicators located before the beginning of the selected runway and corresponding spatially to a respective VFR approach pattern; and • after receipt of an approach type selection, display on the overhead graphical view a selected VFR approach pattern. • display an overhead graphical view on the display screen, the overhead graphical view including the at least one airfield with a selectable airfield indicator; • after receipt of an airfield selection, display on the overhead graphical view each runway at the selected airfield with a selectable runway indicator located adjacent the beginning of the image of the corresponding runway; • after receipt of a runway selection, display on the overhead graphical view a plurality of selectable visual flight rules approach type indicators, each of the plurality of selectable approach pattern type indicators located before the beginning of the selected runway and corresponding spatially to a respective VFR approach pattern; and • after receipt of an approach type selection, display on the overhead graphical view a selected VFR approach pattern.
