Methods and Systems for Controlling Thrust Produced by a Plurality of Engines on an Aircraft for Assisting with Certain Flight Conditions

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising:

• selecting a maximum value of an aircraft parameter of an aircraft;
• measuring a value of the aircraft parameter while the aircraft is in flight;
• based on a comparison of the maximum value and the measured value, determining that the measured value exceeds the maximum value;
• and
• reducing a thrust produced by each engine of a plurality of engines on the aircraft to bring the measured value of the aircraft parameter below the maximum value of the aircraft parameter.

A system comprising:

• a flight control computing device having a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
• select a maximum value of an aircraft parameter of an aircraft;
• receive a measurement of a value of the aircraft parameter while the aircraft is in flight;
• based on a comparison of the maximum value and the measurement, determine that the measurement exceeds the maximum value;
• and
• send a signal indicating to reduce a thrust produced by each engine of a plurality of engines of the aircraft to bring the measurement below the maximum value of the aircraft parameter;
• and
• a plurality of propulsion control computing devices coupled to the plurality of engines of the aircraft, wherein a respective propulsion control computing device is coupled to a respective engine, and wherein each propulsion control computing device has a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive the signal from the flight control computing device and to control thrust produced by the respective engine of the plurality of engines.
