ABSTRACT:
An aircraft is maintained at a constant glide slope and air speed by trimming delta torque commands provided by an autopilot. Delta torque commands that change by more than twenty percent are trimmed automatically to maintain the constant glide angle and to assist the pilot in maintaining air speed within .+-.5 knots on the approach glide slope.
