Abstract
Trials were conducted in a moving simulator (one degree of freedom) in order to study the effect on manual tracking performance of backlash and friction in the control stick and on an arm-rest. The results show that backlash and friction should be avoided and that an arm-rest gives a significant reduction in tracking errors when the pilot is subjected to gust accelerations.Keywords
