An optimum flight safety through piloting sensations
Thanks to highly precise adaptive force feedback of the active side stick unit, pilots can always get the maximum performance out of the aircraft without exceeding the defined flight envelope. This instantaneous situation awareness of the aircraft behavior, as well as the autopilot and copilot actions, ensure a more precise control of the aircraft while reducing the pilot’s workload.
