Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for an energy managed autoflight function that enables maneuvers previously done by the speed-on-elevator modes to be achieved while maintaining the autoflight function in speed-on-throttle mode. An autoflight guidance algorithm and strategy replaces speed-on-elevator modes with an automatic flight path angle (Auto-FPA) mode that can control speed-controlled climbs and descents. The autoflight guidance algorithm and strategy provide (i) autothrust and autoflight coordination during speed-on-throttle modes, (ii) and Auto-FPA control law or mode, (iii) the Auto-FPA control law being configurable for fixed thrust modes, and (iv) a speed protection monitoring scheme.
