ABSTRACT: Inertial motion sensors in the flight control system pick up high frequency signals due to the flexible modes in addition to the rigid body responses and could lead to instability at the structural frequencies when the rigid body stability augmentation feedback loops are closed. To attenuate the effects of this structural coupling, notch filters are designed and placed in series with the inertial sensors in each of the feedback paths. During the initial phase of control law design and development, aircraft structural response data is generally not available. Therefore, while designing the rigid body control laws, an additional budget is allocated for phase lags introduced by the structural notch filters. Once the structural coupling tests are carried out on the aircraft, structural filters are designed in order to meet the certification requirements. During developmental flight tests with multiple prototype vehicles there are likely to be variations in the structural response cha
