| Abstract: | A method and system is provided for the recovery of an aircraft energy upset in a time - constrained descent . The system includes a computational unit to assess a number of adjustments involving a combination of speed changes, aerodynamic brake deployment and track miles adjustments that alter the energy dissipation profile whilst allowing the aircraft to maintain a pre - determined time - of - arrival over an incoming waypoint along the original descent path |
