ARP6001: Aerospace - Passive Side Stick Unit General Requirements for Fly by Wire Transport and Business

Features

Issuing Committee: A-6A3 Flight Control and Vehicle Management Systems Cmt

Scope

Content

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides general requirements for a generic “passive” side stick that could be used for fly by wire transport and business aircraft. It addresses the following:

The functions to be implemented
The geometric and mechanical characteristics
The mechanical and electrical interfaces
The safety and certification requirements

Rationale

Content: More and more commercial transport, military transport and business aircraft are using fly by wire systems controlled from position or deflection side sticks. This ARP is intended to serve the need to have general requirements available for a generic “passive” side stick unit, i.e. without a back drive or active feel force mechanism, that are applicable to these aircraft.
