Text in force at CAR3R-8: from CAR3R-0, effective 15 May 1956. OCR text
In the configurations outlined in § 3.115 and with the airplane trimmed as indicated, the characteristics of the elevator control forces and the friction within the control system shall be such that:
(a) A pull shall be required to obtain and maintain speeds below the specified wim speed and a push to obtain and maintain speeds above the specified trim speed. This shall be so at any speed which can be obtained without excessive control force, except that such speeds need not be greater than the appropriate maximum permissible speed or less than the minimum speed in steady unstalled flight.
(b) The air speed shall return to within 10 percent of the original trim speed when the control force is slowly released from any speed within the limits defined in paragraph (a) of this section.
