ABSTRACT:
A flying method using total [power] energy, in particular for the take-off and overshoot of an aircraft, is disclosed in which the aerodynamic [gradient] flight path angle .gamma.a is governed by reference to a desired [gradient] flight path angle .gamma.d which is the [total gradient] potential flight path .gamma.t modulated by the difference between the aircraft speed V and a reference speed V.sub.2. An error signal .delta. representative of the difference between the aerodynamic [gradient] flight path angle .gamma.a and the desired [gradient] flight path angle .gamma.d is displayed. The display of the desired [gradient] flight path angle .gamma.d may be by means of the [pitching tendency bar of the artificial horizon] pitch command bar of an attitude director indicator for example.
