A method and a system are provided for displaying flight information of an aircraft. The system receives at least one user defined airspeed related to flight of the aircraft from a user. A processor calculates the at least one calculated airspeed based on data stored in a memory device. A static position is determined by the processor for the user defined and calculated airspeeds. The difference between the positions developed from the user defined and calculated position is also calculated. A difference indicator is displayed to the user for the difference between each user defined and calculated position.

1. A method of displaying flight information for an aircraft, said method comprising the steps of: storing data associated with the aircraft in a memory device;receiving a first user defined airspeed related to a first aspect of flight of an aircraft;calculating a first calculated airspeed related to the first aspect of flight based on the data associated with the aircraft;determining a first user defined static position at which the aircraft should achieve the first user defined airspeed with respect to a starting position of the aircraft;determining a first calculated static position at which the aircraft should achieve the first calculated airspeed with respect to the starting position of the aircraft;calculating the difference between the first user defined static position and the first calculated static position; anddisplaying a first position difference indicator indicating the difference between the first user defined static position and the first calculated static position. 2. A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the step of displaying a marker denoting one of the first user defined static position and the first calculated static position. 3. A method as set forth in claim 2 further comprising the step of determining a first calculated dynamic position at which the aircraft should achieve one of the first user defined airspeed and the first calculated airspeed with respect to a current position of the aircraft. 4. A method as set forth in claim 3 further comprising displaying a marker denoting the first dynamic position. 5. A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the step of receiving a second user defined airspeed related to a second aspect of flight of the aircraft. 6. A method as set forth in claim 5 further comprising the step of determining a second user defined static position at which the aircraft should achieve the second user defined airspeed with respect to a starting position of the aircraft. 7. A method as set forth in claim 6 further comprising the step of calculating a second calculated airspeed related to the second aspect of flight based on the data associated with the aircraft. 8.
