ROLL CONTROL

NORMAL CONDITIONS

Lateral deflection of the sidestick results in a roll rate that is intuitive to the pilot.

The greater the lateral deflection of the sidestick, the greater the resulting roll rate.

Maximum lateral deflection of the sidestick results in a 15° / second roll rate.

When the sidestick is in the neutral position:

  • At AOB of 33 ° and less:
    • The current AOB is maintained
    • Pitch compensation is provided
  • At AOB of greater than 33°:
    • AOB reduces to 33°
    • Pitch compensation is not provided
    • Aircraft maintains spiral stability

The computed lateral component of Normal Law is a mixture of roll and yaw demand with:

  • Automatic turn coordination
  • Automatic yaw damping
  • Initial yaw damper response to aircraft lateral asymmetry (including asymmetric thrust).
