This study describes the development of a tool for the computation of the aircraft trajectory when it gets involved in a runway overrun incident. This tool performs its computations based on the FDR (Flight Data Recorder) in-flight data. The result of this study is a useful tool for the investigation of such events because it may help in the identification of the involved contributing factors. The requirements for the tool are defined and the tool development follows the proposed requirements. There are several ways to calculate the trajectory based on the FDR data. In this study, three reconstruction methods are described and one of these methods is implemented in the tool. Several FDR parameters are used to create a reconstitution of aircraft';s position from the final approach to the touchdown point on the runway surface. Finally, the tool';s results are validated based on a proposed methodology and the conclusion discusses whether the tool';s requirements are effectively achieved.
