Abstract: A method for presenting flight control system data onboard an aircraft is provided. The method detects a current operating mode of an automatic flight control system; determines a current aircraft operation, based on the current operating mode; identifies, based on the current aircraft operation, potential aircraft operations associated with a plurality of operating modes of the automatic flight control system, and wherein the plurality of operating modes comprises the current operating mode; presents, via a display device onboard the aircraft, a first plain-text description of the current operating mode and the current aircraft operation; and presents, via the display device, a plurality of plain-text descriptions, wherein each of the plain-text descriptions is associated with a respective one of the potential aircraft operations.

Abstract: A method and system of automatically controlling the vertical speed of an aircraft during a climb from a first altitude to a second altitude includes the steps of receiving an input to climb to the second altitude at a first vertical speed; causing the aircraft to climb at the first vertical speed; determining a threshold altitude, wherein the threshold altitude is above the first altitude but below the second altitude, and further determining a reduced vertical speed associated with the threshold altitude, wherein the reduced vertical speed is less than the first vertical speed; monitoring the altitude of the aircraft as is climbs at the first vertical speed from the first altitude towards the threshold altitude; and upon reaching the threshold altitude, causing the aircraft to climb at the reduced vertical speed.
