An exploratory analytical study was conducted to analyze problem areas associated with a rigid aircraft controlled by a simple autopilot. The aircraft motion is constrained to the longitudinal phugoid and short period modes. The autopilot characteristics are described. The analytical procedure is explained and stabilizer loads together with some aircraft motions as functions of autopilot gains within the stability boundaries are determined. The effects of center of gravity location and altitude are considered.
