  • Method and system for controlling the flight of an aircraft with respect to the pitch axis
    Patent number: 10023301
    Abstract: A system including a load factor control module for calculating a deflection order on manual actuation of a control column by a pilot of the aircraft and transmitting that deflection order to at least one elevator of the aircraft, a longitudinal attitude control module for maintaining the longitudinal attitude of the aircraft at a target attitude in the event of absence of manual actuation of the control column by the pilot during a flight, and a transition management module for determining and storing a present longitudinal attitude value of the aircraft at a recording moment and transmitting that longitudinal attitude value to the longitudinal attitude control module for the longitudinal attitude control module to use the longitudinal attitude value as the target attitude.
