Yaw Control

....................

For underdamped systems: 

±

10% of time from 90% of 

initial displacement (0.9 

A

d

) to first zero crossing, 

and 

±

10 (n+1)% of period 

thereafter. 

±

10% ampli-

tude of first overshoot ap-

plied to all overshoots 

greater than 5% of initial 

displacement (.05 A

d

). 

±

overshoot (first significant 

overshoot must be 

matched). For over-

damped systems: 

±

10% of 

time from 90% of initial 

displacement (0.9 A

d

) to 

10% of initial displace-

ment (0.1 A

d

). For the al-

ternate method (see para-

graph 4 of this attach-

ment). The slow sweep is 

the equivalent to the static 

test 2.a.3. For the mod-

erate and rapid sweeps: 

±

2 lb (0.9 daN) or 

±

10% 

dynamic increment above 

the static force.

Takeoff, Cruise, and 

Landing.

Data must show normal control displace-

ment in both directions. Tolerance ap-

plies against the absolute values of 

each period (considered independ-

ently). Normal control displacement for 

this test is 25% to 50% of the max-

imum allowable yaw controller deflec-

tion for flight conditions limited by the 

maneuvering load envelope.

‘‘n’’ is the sequential 

period of a full cycle 

of oscillation. Refer 

to paragraph 4 of 

this attachment for 

more information. 

Static and dynamic 

flight control tests 

should be accom-

plished at the same 

feel or impact pres-

sures. 

2.b.4.

.............

Small Control Inputs— 

Pitch.

±

0.15

°

/sec body pitch rate or 

±

20% of peak body pitch 

rate applied throughout 

the time history.

Approach 

or 

landing

....

Control inputs must be typical of minor 

corrections made while established on 

an ILS approach course, using from 

0.5

°

/sec to 2

°

/sec pitch rate. The test 

must be in both directions, showing 

time history data from 5 seconds be-

fore until at least 5 seconds after initi-

ation of control input.

CCA: Test in normal and non-normal 

control states.
