The precise control of aircraft pitch angles is critical in aviation for maintaining specific attitudes during flight, including straight and level flight, ascents, and descents. Traditional control strategies face challenges due to the non-linear and uncertain dynamics of flight. To address these issues, this study introduces a novel approach employing the artificial rabbits optimizer (ARO) for tuning a PID controller with a filtering mechanism (PID-F) in aircraft pitch control systems. This combination aims to enhance the stability and performance of the aircraft pitch control system by effectively mitigating the kick effect through the incorporation of a filter coefficient in the derivative gain. The study employs a timedomain-based objective function to guide the optimization process. Simulation results validate the stability and consistency of the proposed ARO/PID-F approach. Comparative analysis with various optimization algorithm-based controllers from the literature demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Specifically, the ARO/PID-F controller exhibits a rapid response, zero overshoot, minimal settling time, and precise control during critical phases. The obtained results position the proposed methodology as a promising and innovative solution for optimizing aircraft pitch control systems, offering improved performance and reliability.

Abstract. Comparative analysis of the ICAO statistics showed that 35% of the aircraft losses associated with failures and damages of automatic control systems, mainly with failures of drives and external damage of tours and controllers. Classification of approaches to reconfigurable flight control systems is shown. The aim of this work is to develop method of reconfiguration to save the stability and controllability of the aircraft during the collisions with mechanical, biological and electrical elements.

During an operational process, activity is implemented through an ordered sequence of certain actions united by a common motive. Actions can be simple or complex. Simple actions cannot be split into elements having independent objectives. Complex actions can be presented in the form of a set of simple actions. If the logical organisation of this set is open, a complex action can be described as an algorithm consisting of simple actions. That means various kinds of operational activities develop from the same simple and typical actions, but in various sequences. Therefore, human error is always generated by a more elementary error of action. Thus, errors of action are the primary parameter that is universal for any kind of activity of an aviation specialist and can serve as a measure for estimating the negative influence of the human factor (HF) on flight safety. Aviation personnel are various groups of experts having various specialisations and working in various areas of civil aviation. It is obvious that their influence on conditions is also unequal and is defined by their degree of interaction with the performance of flights. In this article, the results of an analysis of air incidents will be presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
