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

1. A method for alerting a flight crew of an aircraft when the aircraft is flying an approach to a taxiway, the method comprising: determining altitude of the aircraft;determining whether the aircraft is within an envelope surrounding a predetermined runway based on a position of the aircraft, where
1. A method for alerting a flight crew of an aircraft when the aircraft is flying an approach to a taxiway, the method comprising: determining altitude of the aircraft;determining whether the aircraft is within an envelope surrounding a predetermined runway based on a position of the aircraft, wherein the envelope has at least a first dimension associated with a first dimension of the runway and at least a second dimension with a second dimension of the runway; andissuing an indication that the aircraft is approaching a taxiway if the aircraft is not within the runway envelope and the determined altitude is below a predefined threshold. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the aircraft is within the envelope includes accessing runway information from a computer-readable memory. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein issuing an indication includes issuing at least one of a visual indication and an aural indication. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein a width of the runway envelope is twice the width of the runway, and a length of the runway envelope extends 1 nautical mile from an approach end of the runway. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein a width of the runway envelope is twice the width of the runway plus 400 feet and a length of the runway envelope extends 3 nautical miles from an approach end of the runway. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein the indication includes a voice recording. 7. The method of claim 3, wherein the indication includes a visual indicator on one of a map display and a cockpit display. 8. The method of claim 3, wherein the indication includes a text message on one of an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) display, a primary flight display (PFD), a Navigation Display (ND), a Multi-Function Display (MFD), a heads-up display (HUD), and any other cockpit display. 9. The method of claim 3, wherein the indication includes an alert, including at least one of a caution, an advisory, and a warning. 10. A device comprising: a non-trasitory computer-readable memory containing runway information;a processor including: a component for accessing the runway information from the memory and determining if the aircraft is within a runway envelope based on a position of the aircraft, wherein the envelope has at least a first dimension associated with a first dimension of the runway and at least a second dimension with a second dimension of the runway; anda component for issuing an indication that the aircraft is approaching a taxiway if the aircraft is not within the runway envelope and the aircraft is below a predetermined altitude. 11. The device of claim 10, further comprising: one of a visual indicator and an aural indicator. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the aural indicator further includes a voice recording. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein the visual indicator includes one of a lamp, a Light Emitting Diode (LED), an indicator on a map display, and an indicator on any cockpit display. 14. The device of claim 11, wherein the visual indicator includes a text message displayed on one of an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) display, a primary flight display (PFD), a Navigation Display (ND), a Multi-Function Display (MFD), a heads-up display (HUD), and any other cockpit display. 15. An aircraft comprising: a computer-readable memory containing runway information;a sensor for determining altitude of the aircraft;a sensor for determining aircraft position; anda processor including: a component for accessing the runway information from the memory and determining if the aircraft is within a runway envelope based on the runway information and the determined position, wherein the envelope has at least a first dimension associated with a first dimension of the runway and at least a second dimension with a second dimension of the runway; anda component for issuing an indication that the aircraft is approaching a taxiway if the aircraft is not within the runway envelope and the determined altitude is below a predefined threshold.
