ABSTRACT:
An aircraft automatic or semiautomtic vertical path control system which coordinates operation of pitch and engine thrust control systems to transfer speed control from one system to the other depending on a requirement to climb, descend, or maintain altitude as determined by the polarity and magnitude of the difference between a selectable desired altitude and current actual altitude.
