Servo-analysis techniques, using mathematical models of human control behaviour, are effectively used in studies of the system formed by the human pilot and the flight control system/aircraft combination. Measurement and data analysis techniques for the determination of pilot describing function, remnant and associated information needed in servo-analysis, are described in this report. Results obtained from three compensatory tracking experiments (in-flight and ground based) are presented. Comparisons with results of similar investigations, published in the literature, are made.
