What is a requirement to be installed in a powered flight control?

• A. Automatic trim
• B. Artificial Feel
• C. Hydraulic pump
• D. Electric auto-pilot

Answer: (B)

In powered flight controls, having a mechanism that provides tactile feedback to the pilot about aerodynamic forces is essential. This feature, called artificial feel, makes the control forces feel realistic and proportional to airspeed and surface movement. It helps the pilot sense how the aircraft will respond, enabling precise inputs and preventing overcontrols or undercontrols as conditions change. Other options aren’t universal requirements for the control system itself: automatic trim is a separate function that keeps the control in a desired position, a hydraulic pump is part of some systems but not a fundamental requirement for control feel, and electric autopilot is an automation feature rather than a basic need for the control’s feedback. So, artificial feel is the necessary installation.
