I think it might be handy if the destination airport were to automatically have extended runways enabled, or maybe automatically extend them when you get within a certain range. Similarly, having the closest runway to you having it's runway automatically extended might be a nice safety/informational feature as you're flying near an airport. It also might clutter the screen a bit, so I imagine some people would want the ability to turn this off.
If the iFly software has access to very recent wind information, maybe extending the most likely likely active runway at the destination airport could be neat as well, or just color coding the most likely active one green or some such. Some potential misuse with this feature though if the pilot doesn't manually check the winds to verify.
