Patent ID: 8594864

Claim:
A torque based power limit cueing system, comprising: an engine computer to compile data relating to engine torque limits, gas generator speed limits, gas turbine temperature limits, gearbox torque limits and additional information of each of one or more engines including a maximum continuous power (MCP) engine limit and a maximum power available (MPA); an active stick by which tactile cueing are provided to a pilot and by which the pilot inputs control commands; a multi-function display (MFD) by which visible cues of the MCP and the MPA are provided to the pilot; and a flight control computer (FCC) operably coupled to the engine computer, the active stick and the multi-function display, the FCC being configured to receive the data from the engine computer and to output tactile cue commands and visible commands in accordance with the torque and the additional information of each of the one or more engines to the active stick and the MFD, respectively, the tactile cue commands comprising first and second tactile cue commands at first and second limits, respectively, the first and second limits each being associated with the torque and the additional information, the second tactile cue command being different from the first tactile cue command and the second limit being more severe than the first limit.
