  • Patent number: 4019702
    Abstract: A pilot guidance system that computes and displays pitch and speed steering commands is automatically operated during the post-takeoff climb (at specified times clocked from the start of the takeoff run), to present commands that assist the pilot in cutting (and later in restoring) thrust for a predetermined interval to reduce engine noise, and in guiding the aircraft in a safe, gentle climb over the proximate community. The specified times (unique for each model of aircraft, airport, runway and departure flight path), synchronize the thrust cutback interval with the boundaries of the community in line with chosen departure path.
