position that gave a control force to transitioning airplane pilots who had become accustomed to such control forces. 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…

inputs adjust attitude, power and aircraft trim for a more stabilized flight. Once engaged by the pilot, these actual systems use a multitude of sensors, from stabilized gyros to electromechanical actuators, which provide instantaneous inputs to all flight controls without ... desired. Stability augmentation systems reduce pilot workload by improving basic aircraft control harmony and decreasing disturbances. These systems are very useful when the pilot is required to perform other duties, such as sling loading and search-and-rescue operations. Other…

balancing the main and tail rotor blades can also be used to detect other vibrations in the helicopter. These systems use accelerometers mounted around the helicopter to detect the direction, frequency, and intensity of the vibration. The built-in software ... then analyze the information, pinpoint the origin of the vibration, and suggest the corrective action. The use of a system such as a health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) provides the operator the ability to record engine and transmission performance…

Use of supplemental restraint systems. (a) Use of supplemental restraint systems. Except as provided in this section, no person may conduct an operation in a civil aircraft in which any individual on board is secured with a supplemental restraint system ... movement on the surface, takeoff, and landing; and (B) Is secured during the remainder of the flight using a supplemental restraint system in accordance with, and that meets the requirements of, this section.

adjustable stabilizer. With this arrangement, linkages pivot the horizontal stabilizer about its rear spar. This is accomplished by the use of a jackscrew mounted on the leading edge of the stabilator. [Figure 6-23] On small aircraft, the jackscrew ... pilot and increases safety. The common features available on an autopilot are altitude and heading hold. The simplest systems use gyroscopic attitude indicators and magnetic compasses to control servos connected to the flight control system. [Figure 6-24] The number…
