A design procedure for controllers is presented which makes it possible to allow for all the demands made on control behavior. It was used to design a controller for the longitudinal motion of the D0-28D Skyservant that ensures maintenance of the desired flying qualities in both the guidance and the disturbance behavior throughout the flight range of the aircraft. The design pays particular attention to obtaining a low elevator setting speed and a harmonic time pattern of the elevator deflection. The influence of the airborne computer on the control behavior is examined and the results of the flight tests are compared with those of the simulations.
