September 30, 200817 yr Author Hi,Nice screen captures.What is LSAS: Longitudinal Stability Augmentation System. For those interested in LSAS:The MD-11 incorporates a Longitudinal Stability Augmentation System (LSAS) that enhances longitudinal stability through commands to the elevators in series mode. The LSAS holds the existing pitch attitude of the aircraft whenever the sum of the captain's and first officer's column force are less than two pounds. Below 15,000 feet, there are no LSAS inputs when the column force is above two pounds. Above 15,000 feet, the LSAS provides additional pitch rate damping input when the control column force is above two pounds. Automatic pitch trim of the horizontal stabilizer is also operative in LSAS mode.LSAS is inoperative whenever the autopilot is engaged or when the aircraft is below 100 feet above ground level (agl). With LSAS inoperative and automatic pitch trim unavailable, manual pitch trim is available.That's LSAS in a nutshellWhen you say, "LSAS makes approach like flying on a rail. What's LSAS? Stay tuned." Are you saying PMDG has LSAS working correctly or are you saying it is incorporated within the MD-11 with limitations to its use?. I ask because I have a precision flight controls Jetliner yoke and would like to utilize PMDG's MD-11 LSAS feature.Also, is this feature included in the FS9 & FSX version?.
