A method (100) and system (10, 900) of assisting with landing of an aircraft (12) is provided. The method includes determining, during an approach of an the aircraft to landing on a runway (14), a latest touchdown point (26 or 28) on the runway based on aircraft characteristics and current landing conditions, the latest touchdown point being calculated to permit stopping of the aircraft before reaching an end (18) of the runway. A computer processor unit (904) compares (116, 126) an estimated minimum time (T1) to land the aircraft versus an estimated time (T2) to reach the latest touchdown point. An operator of the aircraft is alerted (124, 130) when T1 is projected to be within a specified margin of T2.
