Control Dynamics (all 

axes).

±

10% of time for first zero cross-

ing and 

±

10 (N+1)% of period 

thereafter. 

±

10% of amplitude 

of first overshoot. 

±

20% of am-

plitude of 2nd and subsequent 

overshoots greater than 5% of 

initial displacement. 

±

1 over-

shoot.

Hover/Cruise Trim 

On Friction Off.

Results must be recorded for a 

normal control displacement in 

both directions in each axis, 

using 25% to 50% of full throw.

Control Dynamics for irre-

versible control systems 

may be evaluated in a 

ground/static condition. 

Refer to paragraph 3 of 

this attachment for addi-

tional information. ‘‘N’’ is 

the sequential period of a 

full cycle of oscillation.
