Provided are embodiments for a system for offloading non-thrust loads. The system includes one or more thrust loads, and one or more non-thrust loads, and a controller that is operably coupled to the one or more thrust loads and the one or more non-thrust loads. The controller is configured to control the thrust loads and non-thrust loads, receive input from one or more sources, and identify a phase of flight based at least in part on the received input. The controller is also configured to offload one or more non-thrust loads during the phase of flight, and restore the one or more non-thrust loads. Also provided are embodiments for method for offloading non-thrust loads.

The method S200 can include: at an aircraft, receiving an audio utterance from air traffic control S210, converting the audio utterance to text, determining commands from the text using a question-and-answer model S240, and optionally controlling the aircraft based on the commands S250. The method functions to automatically interpret flight commands from the air traffic control (ATC) stream.
