The Vertical Navigation (VNAV) function of the Flight Management System (FMS) serves as an intelligent agent during all flight phases by automatically selecting appropriate targets (e.g. altitude, speed, and vertical speed) and pitch/thrust control modes to satisfy the objectives of each leg of the flightplan. | The Vertical Navigation (VNAV) function of the Flight Management System (FMS) serves as an intelligent agent during all flight phases by automatically selecting appropriate targets (e.g. altitude, speed, and vertical speed) and pitch/thrust control modes to satisfy the objectives of each leg of the flightplan. | ||

In a study of the software of contemporary VNAV functions, Sherry & Polson (1999), found that the typical VNAV function automatically chooses the active altitude target from a possible list of sixteen, and chooses the active speed target from a possible list of twenty-six. | In a study of the software of contemporary VNAV functions, Sherry & Polson (1999), found that the typical VNAV function automatically chooses the active altitude target from a possible list of sixteen, and chooses the active speed target from a possible list of twenty-six. | ||
