Takeoff Control

Throughout the takeoff procedure, there will be 3 main aspects we need to control:

• The vertical location of the aircraft

• The horizontal location of the aircraft

• The approach speed of the aircraft

Within each stage of the takeoff procedure, each of the 3 main aspects are controlled differently. Here are the requirements at each stage:

Roll stage:

• Vertical: Max throttle

• Horizontal: Not controlled

• Speed: Max throttle

Climb stage:

• Vertical: Max throttle

• Horizontal: Waypoint manager functions

• Speed: Set constant
