Encl9sed for your info are extracts from (1)
!Monthly UR Report and (2)1
Monthly Commander's Report. Seems as though most of our
problems fall in the inverter and autopilot area this
month. In the future I intend to forward extracts of
this type directly to you only for action you may deem
appropriate. This, I feel, will keep this UR reporting
from ricocheting off the walls at all levels. I know
we can get best results from this program with this type
of communication. Trust you will keep me informed of
any corrective action that can be taken to improve our
operation.
Sincerely,
25X1A

MONTHLY COMMANDER'S REPORT
I. In Headquartess Message 0400, dated 27 April, you re-
quested additional details on autopilot discrepancies
mentioned in last month's report. Following is a detailed
resume for the Month of March prepared by our Autopilot
Tech Rep:
25X1A
a. Summary of Flights on Article 358:
Flight 1 Write up: Overshoot out of righ turns
Correction: Recalibrated aileron axis
Flight 2 Write up: Overshoot out of both turns
Correction: Replaced multi channel in
main amplifier (Trouble did
not recur)
Flight 3 Write up: Mach Sensor out
Correction: Found broken wire at Mach
Sensor pot, resoldered
(Trouble did not re-occur)
Flight 4 Write up: Intermittent yoke pumps
Correction: Recalibrated pitch axis
(Trouble did not re-occur)
Flight 5 Write up: All axis sloppy
Correction: Replaced inverter (Trouble
did not re-occur)
Flight 6 No Write up.
Flight 7 Write up: Intermittent rudder drift
Correction: At this time, the Article
went in for 100 hour inspection. At
this time, many components were replaced
due to time change requirements.
Flight 8 No Write ups on Test Flight. Since this
flight, we have had five flights on this article
with no autopilot write ups. Upon receipt of
this Article, it did require much "cleaning up"
of minor problems in order to staisfy
our local mission.

b. Summary of Flights on Article 352:
Flight I No Write ups
Flight 2 No Write ups
Flight 3 No Write ups
Flight 4 Write up: Slow to recover from turns
Correction: Recalibrated aileron axis
(Trouble did not re-occur)
Flight 5 Write up: Run-away down trip
Correction: Recalibrated trim servo
amplifier
Flight 6 No Write ups
Flight 7 No Write ups
Flight 8 Write up: Article nosed down,
appearing to be run-away
axis
Flight
Correction: At this time I suspected a
OCG. problem because both
nose down conditions had
occurred with approx 500
gallons of fuel remaining.
We increased ballast to 50
pounds.
9 No Write ups. Pilot did use full nose
up trim, thus we reduced
ballast to 20 lbs
Flight 10 Write up: Article nosed down with
approximately 400 gallons
fuel remaining.
Correction: Found pitch clutch torque
low--increased to 55 lbs
Flight 11 No Write up: Pilot did use full nose
down trim and did notice an
excessive load on the yoke
at approximately 400 gallons
remAining fuel. I suggested
using 30 lb ballast.

c. All trim problems with Article 352 were occuring
at approximately 500 to 400 gallons remaining fuel lad.
It is my opinion that due to improper C.G., there was not
enough trim available. This caused excessive loads on the
system and the clutch was slipping at this time. I feel
that Wan the Article is weighed after IRAN and a new basic
weight is established the problem will be eliminated.
d. Replacement Parts: During the 100 hour inspection
I returned two items drawn from stock:
(1) Mach Sensor Control - found a weather
checked hose
(2) Pitch Trip Control - could not calibrate
the unit to within the proper range.
Theme are isolated cases, as most parts received hare been
aceepatable. The problem with the items has been noted on
the repairable tags attached to the repairable items.
