BonerCat Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Quick question What do stabilization channels actually do in the tomcat? (When autopilot is not being used) Is it just dampening, like in the F-5, or is it a bit more advanced? I know it's not full FBW, but I don't know what exactly it does to the jet.

draconus Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html#afcs-automatic-flight-control-system The AFCS or Automatic Flight Control System provides additional aircraft stability (SAS or Stability Augmentation System) via automatic control surface commands generated from AFCS sensors. Yes, it's mostly dampening pilot inputs and automatic stabilization corrections.

TLTeo Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yep, it's dampening like the F-5 and Viggen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
