August 26, 1998 a flight test was conducted by the Control and Simulation Division in Delft Aerospace, in order to recalibrate the angle-of-attack vane of the Cessna Citation II laboratory aircraft. In addition, the possibility of using non-stationary maneuvers rather than a series of stationary flight conditions was investigated. The proposed non-stationary calibration procedure reduces the time that is required for a full calibration test run from approximately forty minutes to less than ten minutes. This report contains both information on the flight test and the results from the calibration. It is shown that angle-of-attack vane calibration using a vertical gyro as a reference suffers from a hysteresis-like effect, where the use of an accelerometer along the longitudinal axis as a reference does not.
