Abstract
Fully-developed pilot-induced oscillation (PIO) is an important issue to be solved in the development of modern fly-by-wire flight control systems. In this paper, the fully-developed PIO is analyzed as a worst case for the safety of piloted airplanes, including actuator rate limiting, feedback control loop, and pilot delay by using describing function method. It is shown that the predictions obtained with this method closely match results of the simulation in the frequency and the amplitude of the PIO limit cycle. And it demonstrates that the feedback control loop has a positive effect on PIO and decreases amplitude of the oscillation.
