This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides the general performance, design, installation, test, development, and quality assurance requirements for the flight control related functions of the Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) of military piloted aircraft. It also provides specification guidance for the flight control interfaces with other systems and subsystems of the aircraft.

The document provides a definition of skew and disconnect occuring in high lift systems in flight controls including their hazard assessment, describes generic solutions and provides a for specifying requirements.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) outlines comprehensive aircraft flight control system fault isolation methodology that has proven to be effective. The methodology presented in this Information Report has been used in several successful fault isolation efforts on military aircraft.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides guidelines for the configuration and design of mechanical control signal transmission systems and subsystems. It is focused on the recommended practices for designing cable and pulley, pushrod and bellcrank and push-pull flexible cable control systems. These systems are typically used in some combination to transmit pilot commands into primary, secondary and utility control system commands (mechanical or electrical) or aircraft surface commands. On mechanically controlled aircraft, most pilot control commands are initiated through cockpit mounted wheels, sticks, levers, pedals or cranks that are coupled by pushrods or links to cable systems. The cable systems are routed throughout the aircraft and terminated in close proximity to the commanded surface or function where cranks and pushrods are again used to control the commanded function.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides general requirements for a generic, integrated rudder and brake pedal unit, incorporating a passive force-feel system that could be used for fixed-wing fly-by wire transport and business aircraft.This ARP addresses the following:- The functions to be implemented- The mechanical interconnection between captain and F/O station- The geometric and mechanical characteristics- The mechanical, electrical, and electronic interfaces- The safety and certification requirements

Scope: This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides guidelines for specifying dielectric withstanding strength and insulation resistance design and test requirements for aircraft line replaceable units (LRU's) used within a flight control and/or a utility system. 1.1 Purpose The testing is intended to verify that an LRU can operate safely at its rated voltage and withstand momentary over potentials due to switching, troubleshooting testing, surges, etc.. The testing is also intended to verify adequate design margin of the insulation system and detect workmanship problems.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides design guidelines for aircraft mechanical control systems and components. Topics contained in this document include design requirements, system design and installation guidelines, and component design practices for primary flight controls, secondary flight controls, and utility controls.

This specification presents the standard method for the proof testing and prestretching of aircraft cable assemblies.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) supplies information on the flight control systems incorporated on various current and historic fixed wing, rotary wing, and tilt rotor aircraft. A brief description of the aircraft is followed by a description of the flight control system, some specific components, drawings of the internal arrangement, block diagrams, and schematics. System operation redundancy management is also presented.
