Flight deck systems (20) are provided for integrating braking action information with flight deck runway functions. In one embodiment, the flight deck system includes a cockpit display device (28) on which an airport display (42, 50, 60), such as a two dimensional or three dimensional Airport Moving Map, is generated. A controller (22) is coupled to the cockpit display device and configured to produce a braking action graphic (44, 58, 68, 70, 72, 74) on the airport display indicative of the current braking action of a first runway (52, 54, 62, 64) approached for usage by the aircraft. The controller may determine the current braking action of the runway from braking action information received over a datalink (24). Further, in certain embodiments, the controller can assign the current braking action to a predetermined braking action category and produce the braking action graphic to visually identify the assigned braking action category. |
