This publication supplements the basic manual, FHB-23-1, providing essential information for the X-15 aircraft. Specifically, this supplement addresses control surface deflections observed during captive-flight checks of the MH-96 adaptive flight control system installed on Airplane AF56-6672. The analysis confirms that the maximum control surface deflections encountered during these checks remain within the established captive flight limitations outlined in Section V of the basic manual.
The purpose of this manual is to clarify any concerns regarding transient control surface deflections during system checks. It offers detailed analysis and findings derived from test data, ensuring operators and maintenance personnel have accurate information. This document is crucial for maintaining the operational integrity and safety of the X-15 aircraft when utilizing the MH-96 adaptive flight control system.

1. PURPOSE
To provide information on airplane control surface deflections during
captive-flight checks of the MH-96 adaptive flight control system
installed on Airplane AF56-6672.
2. GENERAL
During captive-flight checks of this system, transient control surface
deflections have caused concern regarding the possibility of exceeding
captive flight limitations for control surface deflection.
3. INSTRUCTIONS
Test data concerning transient control surface deflections occuring
during captive-flight checks of the MH-96 system has been analyzed.
It has been determined that the maximum control surface deflections
encountered are well within the limitations given in Section V under
Captive Flight Limitations.
