The present disclosure provides a landing assistance system that, in response to determining that an aircraft is within a deceleration and descent profile, displays a zero speed indicator that indicates a location where the aircraft is calculated to reach zero horizontal speed and zero altitude according to a reference glide path based on flight characteristics of the aircraft. The landing assistance system provides the symbols described herein by determining flight characteristics for an aircraft; calculating where to locate a zero speed indicator based on the flight characteristics; and projecting the zero speed indicator on a display in the aircraft. Low and high speed solutions, as well as azimuth dependent and azimuth independent solutions thereof, quickly and accurately provide the calculations based on the current flight characteristics of the aircraft to thereby provide pilots with landing aids that provide relevant landing information based, in part, on relative locations of the symbols.
