To whom it may concern,
As the majority of the other responses were on the last possible day, I can only respond to the information supplied by those responses after the official due date, I ask for consideration past the official due date for this submission.
A. An speedy and inexpensive solution for Simulators and Aircraft:
Proposal: an adhesive tape bonding of a pointed cone "mountain" of crash yielding hard materiel on each rudder pedal. The pilot would experience a magnified progressive feedback sensation of force applied to the pedal; culminated by pain in the ball of the foot or a twisting ankle to bring rudder manipulation from the unconscious, to the conscious mind. To make the foot more sensitive to a sensitive pedal, A physiological damper.
No bolts, screws, batteries, wiring, software development or computer changes needed.
There could be a conflict with wheel brake application and ground steering in some aircraft, or perhaps benefit would accrue in these scenarios.
B. Additions to my previous submission on Yarns:
It is true that maintaining a single exact Angle of Attack or angle of Yaw can induce phugoid oscillations or a Dutch roll, however, the inherent low resolution of the secondary yarn instrument probably would mitigate against the need for a airspeed based AOA/Yaw instrument damping system.
Advice from the window manufacturers about compatible grease pencils, adhesive tapes and residue cleaning procedures etc. could facilitate large volunteer data collection on yarn installations. A public data development program (as the FAA has often done over the years), could be attempted with appropriate cautions towards the most passive low workload data collection only, not maneuvers based on the yarns (no intentional stalls, just ordinary operations). Todays vocabulary might call it "crowdsourcing".
C. The Space Shuttle accidents have reminded us that concerns from a single deviation or incident or a single model of aircraft
