13.1.1 PITCH MODE
Pitch attitude boundaries are set based on P2010 aircraft performances. Since
pitch ESP augments the natural aircraft longitudinal stability, no special simbolo-
gy is required.
Value that have been set-up for the P2010 are as follows:
Nose above the horizon:
Engagement low threshold: + 15°
Engagement upper threshold: + 18°
Lower disengage threshold: + 12°
Nose below the horizon:
Engagement low threshold: -15°
Engagement upper threshold: -20°
Lower disengage threshold: -13°
ESP utilizes electronic torque and speed commands to augment the aircraft‘s sta-
bility: it uses an Electronic Torque Limit (ETL) and an Electronic Speed Limit
(ESL) to limit the maximum authority of the ESP function. ESP is inactive when
the pitch attitude is within the positive and negative engagement limits defined in
the certification gain file.
