Abstract
The aircraft is a system consisting of a pilot and an aircraft. To understand the system, the pilot dynamics needs to be known. This paper proposes a method to identify the pilot dynamics including feedback structures. The method utilizes the autoregressive scheme, and makes a singular value analysis of the closed-loop transfer function matrix in addition to a correlation analysis of the innovations. By treating the latera-ldirectional flight path control of an aircraft, it is shown that the proposed method clearly distinguishes between two assumed feedback structures, and the pilot dynamics is properly identified in the correctly chosen feedback structure.
