Abstract: A turbulence compensated aircraft throttle control system is augmented with switching logic and signal processing to subtantially decrease the magnitude of wind shear-induced airspeed errors and the time required to recover from such airspeed errors. The disclosed arrangements include a throttle controller having a speed control channel that is responsive to airspeed error and a turbulence compensation channel that is responsive to aircraft airspeed and longitudinal inertial acceleration of the aircraft. A signal representative of the wind shear being encountered by the aircraft is derived within the turbulence compensation channel (or from signals provided thereby) and is processed to form a wind shear compensation signal that is coupled into the speed command channel whenever the airspeed error exceeds a predetermined amount. The wind shear compensation signal supplements the airspeed error signal to substantially increase the magnitude of the throttle command signal.
