Flight Test Evaluation of Automation-Induced OscillationsFlight-test systems analysis techniques are applied to the case of aircraft automation-induced oscillations(AIO). Emerging technological advancements in flight control automation and artificial intelligence have created a need for evaluating the age-old aerial phenomenon of undesired aircraft oscillations. This paper is an overview on the study of AIO as interactions between human pilot, software engineer, and vehicle dynamics(e.g., latency) with the presence of winds aloft. Flight-test evaluation included a broad, non-comprehensive theory on cyclical and non-cyclical oscillations and a preliminary evaluation of the ecosystem from software engineer, airspace architect, and human test pilot.
