A control arrangement for use in conjunction with a flight control computer operating in response to various input signals including those received from a collective stick to control the flight regime of a helicopter, which is operative for causing the helicopter to perform bob-up and bob-down maneuvers, includes a circuitry which generates a first control signal when the helicopter is to perform a bob-up maneuver from its instantaneous altitude to a higher altitude, stores data descriptive of at least one instantaneous altitude at the time of commencement of the first control signal; issues in response to the first control signal, an ascent command signal representative of a helicopter ascent at a maximum permissible ascent rate; generates a second control signal when the helicopter is to perform a bob-down maneuver from the higher altitude to that stored in the storing means; issues, in response to the second control signal, a descent command signal representative of a helicopter descent at a maximum permissible descent rate; and supplies the respective one of the ascent and descent command signals as an additional input signal to the flight control computer for use in controlling the flight regime of the helicopter in accordance therewith.

A control apparatus, for use in conjunction with a flight control computer which controls the flight regime of a helicopter in response to various input signals including collective stick force signals received from and indicative of manipulation forces applied to a collective stick, for causing the helicopter to perform bob-up and bob-down maneuvers, comprising means for generating a first control signal when the helicopter is to perform a bob-up maneuver from its instantaneous altitude to a higher altitude; means for storing data descriptive of said instantaneous altitude at the time of commencement of said first control signal; ascent command means for issuing, in response to said first control signal, an ascent command signal representative of a helicopter ascent at a maximum permissible ascent rate; means for generating a second control signal when the helicopter is to perform a bob-down maneuver from said higher altitude to that stored in said storing means; descent command means for issuing, in response to said second control signal, a descent command signal representative of a helicopter descent at a maximum permissible descent rate; and means for supplying the respective one of said ascent and descent command signals as an additional input signal to the flight control computer for use in controlling the flight regime of the helicopter in accordance therewith.
