EVALUATION OF AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AN/ASW-12(V) IN AN RL-23D AIRPLANE

Abstract

An evaluation was made of the AN/ASW-12 automatic flight control system (AFCS) installed in the RL-23D to determine the suitability of the equipment for use in the RL-23D, and to determine the general acceptability of the AN/ASW-12 for use in Army fixed-wing aircraft. It was concluded that the AN/ ASW-12(V) automatic flight control system will be suitable for use in RL-23D airplanes when discrepancies and shortcomings are corrected. The AN/ASW-12(V) automatic flight control system appears to be acceptable for use in other Army fixed-wing aircraft. The universal aspects of the AN/ASW12(V) should be investigated thoroughly before type classification.
