Abstract
A system and method for computing and displaying a fuel optimal idle deceleration start point which minimizes the overall auto throttle movement keeping the throttle at idle detent throughout the maneuver thus minimizing the fuel burn and stress on engine. The need for speed brakes deployment is also reduced because the deceleration distance length is accordingly adjusted based on current parameters. The accurate solution takes into account the current condition such as aircraft weight, altitude and speed and environmental parameters such as wind and temperature. The computed deceleration start point is displayed on map/navigation and vertical display for enhanced flight crew awareness.
