In an attempt to replicate the Airbus trim system for the flight simulator further clarification on the rudder operation of the aircraft was required. Different scenarios were considered – take off roll, engine out with A/P engaged and disengaged, and crosswinds. A proposed trim mechanism system using a linear actuator was sketched by Richard Long … Continue reading →

I had the opportunity to spend some time in a Level-D A320 sim last week. Proper implementation of the rudder controls of the aircraft in a home simulator requires the use of control loading (force feedback). Reviewing the logic of the Level-D aircraft rudder function was of high interest to see how this could be … Continue reading →
