Abstract
In an aircraft automatic flight control system having a reference parameter synchronizing system (70) operable in response to a trim release switch (44), an initial trim release period (139), on the order of a large fraction of a second (137) causes (217, 218) a relatively slow effect trim reference integrator (208, 211) time constant, for smooth transitions of any error signal, followed by a relatively fast (216) effective reference integrator time constant for close, rapid tracking of the reference signal with the actual aircraft parameter.
