  • Patent number: 4814764
    Abstract: A system for warning the pilot when the aircraft has reached a high yaw condition. A differential in pressure or angle of attack between the port and starboard sides of the aircraft is measured and converted into a measured sideslip angle. If the measured sideslip angle exceeds a predetermined maximum acceptable sideslip angle, a warning device, such as a rudder pedal shaker, is activated. The maximum acceptable sideslip angle is determined as a function of the ability of the aircraft flight controls to counteract a rolling moment generated by the yaw condition.
