A taxi planning system (10) for aircraft provides an intuitive user interfac e for entering and selecting taxi plans quickly and easily. The system include s predefined reduced selection menus that prompt the pilot with feasible taxi choices. Predefined standard routes allow the pilot to select a taxi route with a minimum of keystrokes and in a minimum of time. A display screen (12A ) communicates the selection menus and standard routes to the pilot who makes a selection with as little as one keystroke. A database (13) comprising a link ed list structure facilitates a flexible system that is able to represent a wid e variety of airport runways, taxiways, gates, ramps, and other airport structures. The selected taxi route is communicated to other aircraft system s such as head-down displays, head-up displays, flight management computers, communication systems, and the like.
