1. PURPOSE
To provide information on airplane control surface deflections during
captive-flight checks of the MH-96 adaptive flight control system
installed on Airplane AF56-6672.
2. GENERAL
During captive-flight checks of this system, transient control surface
deflections have caused concern regarding the possibility of exceeding
captive flight limitations for control surface deflection.
3. INSTRUCTIONS
Test data concerning transient control surface deflections occuring
during captive-flight checks of the MH-96 system has been analyzed.
It has been determined that the maximum control surface deflections
encountered are well within the limitations given in Section V under
Captive Flight Limitations.
