    Abstract: A method and system of automatically controlling the vertical speed of an aircraft during a climb from a first altitude to a second altitude includes the steps of receiving an input to climb to the second altitude at a first vertical speed; causing the aircraft to climb at the first vertical speed; determining a threshold altitude, wherein the threshold altitude is above the first altitude but below the second altitude, and further determining a reduced vertical speed associated with the threshold altitude, wherein the reduced vertical speed is less than the first vertical speed; monitoring the altitude of the aircraft as is climbs at the first vertical speed from the first altitude towards the threshold altitude; and upon reaching the threshold altitude, causing the aircraft to climb at the reduced vertical speed.
