Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems Use of automation is an excellent risk control measure when flying in a variety of flight environments where the pilot has a high workload. For example, autopilots are often very useful during complex single-pilot ... flight. In addition, using a flight simulation training device provides the opportunity to practice and repeat automation procedures with a simulated high workload. Through appropriate training and practice, pilots learn to operate autopilot systems with ease and in a routine…

The system uses a magnetic clutch and springs to hold the cyclic control in the position where it was released. The system ... controls. Some recent basic systems are referred to as attitude retention systems. Active Augmentation Systems So-called actual augmentation systems use electric actuators that provide input to the hydraulic servos. These servos receive control commands from a computer that senses…
