A flight deck system includes a cockpit display device on which an airport display is displayed and a controller. The controller is configured to generate a runway condition graphic having at least three different segments to be overlaid over or positioned adjacent to a depiction of a runway on the airport display, wherein each segment of the runway condition graphic is associated with a different segment of the runway and configured to provide a graphical indication of a contaminant condition for the associated segment. The controller is further configured to categorize the contaminant condition of each segment of the runway; visually code each segment of the runway condition graphic in a manner that is representative of the contaminant condition category for its associated segment of the runway; and cause the generated runway condition graphic to be overlaid over or positioned adjacent to the depiction of the runway on the airport display.
