Abstract: A taxi assist system for an aircraft includes a first light source, a second light source, an assigned taxiway data source, an aircraft data source, and a processing system. The first light source is movable and is configured to emit a first light beam ahead of the aircraft. The second light source is movable and is configured to emit a second light beam ahead of the aircraft. The assigned taxiway data source supplies assigned taxiway data indicative of an assigned taxiway. The aircraft data source supplies at least aircraft position data indicative of a position of the aircraft. The processing system energizes the first and second light sources to emit the first and second light beams and supplies position commands that cause the first and second light beams to project to a turning position that corresponds to a position at which the aircraft should begin turning onto the assigned taxiway.
