Abstract
A method for automatically selecting a take-off thrust for an engine of a jet powered mobile platform. A flight management computer (FMC) may be provided along with a configuration code created from a first set of information relating to operational parameters of the mobile platform. A database of information has different locations from which the mobile platform may perform a take-off operation. The FMC may be used to access the configuration code and the database to determine a specific take-off thrust that needs to be applied during the take-off operation at a specified one of the locations, as well as to determine if an operator of the mobile platform has input a command to the FMC to override automatic selection of the take-off thrust.
