A method of controlling forward thrust of an aircraft includes receiving a first pitch angle command; generating a second pitch angle command and a forward thrust engine throttle command based on a bounded pitch angle for the aircraft; comparing a determined bounded pitch angle for the aircraft to the pitch angle corresponding to the first pitch angle command; generating a reduced pitch angle command so the resultant aircraft pitch angle does not exceed the bounded pitch angle; and generating the forward thrust engine throttle command based on the reduced pitch angle command.
