Abstract

See full text

A method of using a tactile signal warning device forming part of a human-operated flight control member of a rotorcraft. The warning device makes use of an anchorable motorized trim actuator for generating a resisting force against movement of the flight control member. The warning device comprises a warning unit that, as a function of a power margin (MP1) calculated by a predictor unit in compliance with a current regulation rating of the power plant and on condition that state data indicates that an autopilot is activated in a higher operating mode, acts to generate an order to activate the trim actuator depending on the conditions under which the flight control member is being moved as identified by a force management unit.
