ABSTRACT:
In an automatic flight control system of the type having automatic stabilizer trim control, the long term, constant altitude cruise trim threshold limits which alter the maximum and minimum pull-in/drop-out deflection of the elevator relative to the stabilizer minimize the steady-state downward deflection of the elevator, thereby reducing unnecessary aerodynamic drag and realizing significant savings in fuel costs.
