Fail-Passive flight control system

Fail-Passive flight control system

<strong>Fail-Passive flight control system</strong>

A flight control system is fail-passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no significant out-of-trim condition or deviation of flight path or attitude but the landing is not completed automatically. For a fail-passive automatic flight control system the pilot assumes control of the aeroplane after a failure.
