Systems and methods for controlling a fixed-wing aircraft during flight are disclosed. The aircraft comprises first and second flight control surfaces of different types. The method comprises determining that a pilot command of the first flight control surface will excite a structural flexible mode of the aircraft and then executing the pilot command of the first flight control surface in conjunction with a command of the second flight control surface to mitigate the effect of the excitation of the structural flexible mode of the aircraft.

System and method for mitigating an effect of an excitation of a structural flexible mode of an aircraft

Systems and methods for automatically arming a steep approach function of an aircraft are disclosed. One exemplary method comprises automatically initiating arming of the steep approach function of the aircraft based on data (e.g., glide slope angle) associated with the approach procedure to be performed by the aircraft.
