The Profile Segment - Push / Pull strategy is a vertical plane strategy that uses the same logic as the Push / Pull segment of a Sequenced Climb or Sequenced Descent performance model. The aircraft flies a push over or pull up maneuver that is followed until a specific goal is met.
Reference Frame
Select Earth Frame to force the aircraft to overcome wind effects and perform the maneuver with strict respect to a fixed Earth frame, or Wind Frame to allow the maneuver to be perturbed by wind effects without attempting to overcome them.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Pull Up/Push Over | Determines whether the maneuver is a Pull Up or Push Over. |
| G | The G force of the maneuver. |
| Maintain | Determines whether the aircraft will Maintain its current airspeed during the segment or whether it will Accelerate or Decelerate at a specific G force rate. The airspeed or G force rate is displayed next to the selection. |
Stop When
The Stop When options are used to define conditions that will cause the aircraft to stop the maneuver. Enter a Flight Path Angle stopping condition, and optionally select and enter values for the other conditions - Or Airspeed is, Or Altitude is, Or Altitude Rate is - to stop the maneuver if any of the conditions are met.
