Maneuver detector circuit for use in autothrottle control systems having thrust and flight path control decoupling

摘要

A maneuver detector generates a maneuver-detect signal when signals representative of elevator deflection and flight path deviation are representative of a deliberate maneuver condition and no maneuver- detect signal when the relationship of the two signals is indicative of elevator deflection such as to oppose a flight path deviation, e.g., as caused by turbulence condition or configuration change.
