Abstract For answering the question about whether an approach power compensation system (APCS), using techniques to keep angle of attack (AOA) of an aircraft invariable during carrier landing phase, can hold the airspeed, a basic control structure of automatic carrier landing system (ACLS) with a vertical rate reference (H-dot) was focused to analyze three typical maneuvering scenarios. Then, for AOA-maintained APCS, the effect of its major commands on the longitudinal control ability of H-dot ACLS was simulated by F/A-18A fighter’s control structure. The results indicate that, the primary flight state variables were affected from different levels by the command signals of an AOA-maintained APCS, and such APCS can also hold the airspeed as long as the flight track angle is constant in the steady flight.
