C. Raab¹, N. Fezans¹; ¹DLR (German Aerospace Center) - Institute for Flight Systems, Germany

Angle of attack measurement and current developments in sensor fault detection are the subject of this paper. Different fault residuals are presented. Flight data from the DLR research aircraft A320-ATRA are applied to the residuals. Selected maneuvers and conditions are used to demonstrate the fault detection ability. Recommendations for the practical use of the residuals are given and discussed.
