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
Rationale
There is a need for a document that provides general requirements for an integrated rudder and brake pedal unit based on a passive force-feel system that could be used interconnected with a similar unit for the adjacent pilot. This is because, increasingly, commercial fixed-wing transport and business aircraft are using fly-by wire flight control systems and the OEMs wish to control them with integrated rudder and brake pedal inceptor units, rather than the mechanism and sub-assemblies previously used.
The Flight Control and Vehicle Management Systems Panel is responsible for the development of standards and recommended practices related to Commercial Flight Control Systems and the Flight Control functions within Military Vehicle Management Systems (VMS). The Panel is also responsible for developing guidelines for the interface and redundancy required between the VMS and other safety critical systems. The panel provides a forum for Flight Controls and Vehicle Management System engineers, contracting agencies, prime contractors, and suppliers to exchange technical information and discuss regulatory updates, recent technology developments, lessons learned and issues related to system development and in service operation.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
