Abstract
A method for automating a takeoff maneuver for an aircraft, comprising the steps of generating a takeoff profile comprising a takeoff point, a flight path, and a takeoff decision point (TDP), engaging an automated takeoff system to access the takeoff profile, receiving periodic position data of the aircraft, comparing the position data to the takeoff profile to compute a plurality of deviations each time the position data is received, outputting the plurality of deviations to a display, converting the plurality of deviations into a plurality of control commands, and maneuvering the aircraft in response to the control commands along the flight path.
