ABSTRACT:
In a system for controlling a servo actuated controlled device, an input signifying the position of displacement of an aircraft stick or similar manipulatable unit is processed to provide a variable gain to the controlled device. In a predetermined range of positions of the stick in which it is spaced to one side of neutral (or in such a range at each side of neutral) the system operates with low gain during displacement of the stick through a predetermined distance in either direction from a turning point to which the stick had been brought by displacement in the opposite direction. For all other displacements in that range the system operates with high gain. The method thus provides for fast, positive response to coarse stick movements but fine response to small trimming movements.
