Abstract:
An autothrottle retard initiation method includes receiving an aircraft's ground speed, receiving the aircraft's vertical speed, determining autothrottle retard initiation height based on the aircraft's ground speed, the aircraft's vertical speed, and an aircraft vertical landing speed factor, receiving the aircraft's height above ground, and initiating autothrottle retard when the aircraft's height above ground and the autothrottle retard initiation height are equal.
