What is the role of the Main Artificial Feel Unit in pilot controls?

The Main Artificial Feel Unit is crucial in providing tactile feedback to the pilot regarding the aircraft's control surfaces. By delivering feedback that is proportional to the pilot’s input movements, it allows the pilot to feel how much control input is being applied and how the aircraft is responding. This sensory information is vital for maintaining proper control during various phases of flight, particularly in situations where fine adjustments to the control surfaces are necessary.

This feedback mechanism contributes to a more intuitive piloting experience, enabling pilots to operate the aircraft with greater precision and confidence, especially during critical flight phases or maneuvers where exactitude is vital. Overall, the Main Artificial Feel Unit plays a foundational role in enhancing pilot situational awareness and ensuring a responsive interaction with the aircraft's controls.
