AMC 25.331(c)(2) Checked manoeuvre between VA and VD

ED Decision 2013/010/R

The physical limitations of the aircraft from the cockpit pitch control device to the control surface deflection, such as control stops position, maximum power and displacement rate of the servo controls, and control law limiters, may be taken into account.

For aeroplanes equipped with electronic flight controls, where the motion of the control surfaces does not bear a direct relationship to the motion of the cockpit control devices, the circular frequency of the movement of the cockpit control ‘ω’ shall be varied by a reasonable amount to establish the effect of the input period and amplitude on the resulting aeroplane loads. This variation is intended to verify that there is no large and rapid increase in aeroplane loads.
