US Patent 10890463 Takeoff pitch guidance system and method

The present disclosure provides methods and system for providing takeoff pitch guidance for an aircraft. Takeoff pitch guidance for the aircraft is provided in a pitch target mode at a time of takeoff. The pitch target mode corresponds to determining pitch as a function of a target pitch based on aircraft operating parameters. A transition event is detected while in the pitch target mode. The takeoff pitch guidance for the aircraft is transitioned from the pitch target mode to an airspeed error mode after the transition event is detected and the takeoff pitch guidance is provided in the airspeed error mode. The airspeed error mode corresponds to determining pitch based on a difference between an actual speed and a target speed of the aircraft.
