Abstract: According to the method of the invention, control parameters V indicating speed, R indicating turn characteristics and ? indicating a path angle are determined such that these parameters are maintained between limits, and such that one of them deviates as little as possible from a corresponding control input parameter Ri. In order to maintain (as much as possible) the value of R unchanged, V can be varied. The method may include the calculation of the maximum and minimum thrust available.
