DA42NG FTD Level 6 Simulator Data Base - Part 2: Flight Controls Models and Hinge Moment Database

Kurzfassung

The mathematical models pertaining to the flight control systems and the corresponding flight-estimated aerodynamic hinge moment database for DA42NG are presented in this report. The aerodynamic hinge moment database meets the requirements specified by the FAA for a FTD Level 6 simulator in the in-flight regime. The database includes the three flap configurations, landing gear effects on flight control systems, and the stall approach regime. The aim of the present report is to provide the simulator manufacturer DSIM adequate details to implement the flight control system models. The following aspects are covered in detail: i) Equations of pilot force computations, ii) Hinge moment data base and application rules, iii) Demonstration of model fidelity through proof-of-match for FAA specified in-air validation tests.
