A system and method to assist piloting an aircraft in landing phase is disclosed. The system includes a pseudo glide path calculation module that includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the one processor and having instructions stored upon. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the one or more processors to receive coordinates for a runway, receive exit path coordinates for a runway, receive aircraft configuration data, receive aircraft status data, receive runway environmental data, calculate a relative position of the aircraft in reference to the exit path coordinates and the runway environmental data, generate a pseudo displaced threshold for the runway, and generate a pseudo approach glide path profile based on the pseudo displaced threshold. The pseudo displaced threshold and the pseudo approach glide path profile may be depicted on a display. A runway occupation time may also be calculated.
