Abstract
A control circuitry includes a first filter configured to generate a filtered velocity based on a component of a vertical velocity of an aircraft. The pitch trim prediction circuitry also includes a second filter configured to generate a filtered pitch attitude based on a measured pitch attitude of the aircraft. The pitch trim prediction circuitry further includes output circuitry configured to generate a predicted pitch attitude trim value for a target vertical state based on a horizontal velocity of the aircraft, the filtered velocity, and the filtered pitch attitude. The predicted pitch attitude trim value is configured to cause a flight control effector to be adjusted.
