Lateral movement control algorithms for general aviation planes

Abstract

Light general aviation airplanes become more affordable means of transport for the still raising group of people. This fact brings few consequences, of course. One of them is a set of problems appearing when inexperienced pilots start using such planes. Their habits and reactions to external factors are different to behaviors of professional pilots. So it seems to be purposeful to create the control system adequate to expectations of this group of pilots.
