A taxiway approach advisory system (22). The system (22) may include a computer-readable memory (24) containing runway information and a processor (26) in data communication with the memory (24). The processor (26) may include a component (28) for ascertaining the altitude of an aircraft, a component (30) for ascertaining the location of the aircraft, a component (32) for accessing runway information from the memory and determining if the aircraft is within a pre-determined runway envelope (44) based on the altitude and location, and a component (34) for issuing an indication if the aircraft is not within the pre-determined runway envelope (44).
