Abstract

A most important time-varying problem in manual control systems is that of a step change in the controlled element, as typified by, say, a stability augmenter failure in a manned aircraft. This communication describes an experimental investigation aimed at understanding human operator behavior during such a change, and the determination of some limitations on operator descriptions and measurement methods which might be employed.
