An Energy State Awareness System that alerts the pilot of an aircraft during the climb, cruise and descent phases of a flight of low airspeed conditions, and during the Approach/Landing and Go-Around phases of flight when airspeed has deviated from a pre-determined reference airspeed that is considered “Stable” for the flight conditions. In order to determine the degree of deviation, the system monitors some of various readily available signals representative of flight parameters and of the aircraft's configuration such as true airspeed, weight, flap position, center of gravity and normal load factor—nz. Some signals are used directly, others are used as inputs to internal algorithms that compute the data necessary to determine the magnitude of the deviations.
