Abstract

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus determines a plurality of runway exits reachable by the aircraft, and applied braking force of the aircraft to land at respective ones of the plurality of runway exits and predicts taxi-in times of the aircraft to land at respective ones of the plurality of runway exits. The apparatus also predicts maintenance costs of the aircraft to land at respective ones of the plurality of runway exits based on the applied braking force and predicts overall costs of the aircraft to land at respective ones of the plurality of runway exits based on the taxi-in times and the maintenance costs. The apparatus further determines the runway exit among the plurality of runway exits, the runway exit having a minimal overall cost among the overall costs and presents a recommendation of the runway exit for landing the aircraft to a user.
