ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a flare control modification for pilot-in-the-loop aircraft maneuver command electronic flight control systems. During flare, pilot pitch control inputs are interpreted as incremental pitch attitude commands. The flare control modification allows conventional piloting technique (i.e., pitch controller pull-and-hold) to be used during flare, while retaining the benefits of maneuver command system masking effects of gusts, winds, wind shear, and variations in airplane weight, balance, and aerodynamic configuration.
