Robust Control Design, with and without Perturbation, for Aircraft Attitude Control in Flat-Spin Motion
TL;DR: In this paper , a sliding-mode control technique is used to stabilize the aircraft pitch, roll and heading angle and attains the desired attitude in finite time, and the simulation results show that the designed control law succeeds in achieving levelwing flight condition by controlling the aircraft attitude.

Flight Simulator Augmentation for Stall and Upset Training
David R. Gingras,John N. Ralston,Ryan S. Oltman,Chris A Wilkening,Robert Watts,Paul Derochers +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study showed that the representative model performed well when evaluated with other stall models including a type specific model developed with flight data and as such represents a valid alternative in situations where flight data is not available for stall-model development.

Unexpected Pilot Performance Contributing to Loss of Control in Flight (LOC-I)
Randall Brooks,Paul Ransbury +1 more
TL;DR: The four training assumptions are: that the aircraft is within the normal operational envelope and in a non-agitated flight condition, plane handling skills and approaches established by regulatory licensing are adequate to resolve conditions that exceed the bounds of licensing training in attitude, airspeed and/or angle of attack.
