  Function: C-172 autopilot test file

  Note: this file represents a test only of the new autopilot
        setup in JSBSim. The same components used in the FCS
        can also be used in the autopilot section. There are
        some new FCS input and output identifiers directly
        related to the autopilot:

          ap/elevator_cmd,
          ap/aileron_cmd,
          ap/rudder_cmd,
          ap/attitude_hold,
          ap/altitude_hold,
          ap/heading_hold,
          ap/altitude_setpoint,
          ap/heading_setpoint

<!-- Altitude hold -->

<!-- The Altitude Error component below computes the altitude error, subtracting
     the desired altitude (altitude_setpoint) from the actual altitude above sea
     level (_not_ Above Ground Level).  This error signal is interpreted as an
     hdot command (hdot is time rate of change of altitude, or rate of climb). As
     such it is limited to a maximum absolute value of 12 fps here (720 fpm). The
     maximum achievable climb rate depends on altitude. The commanded climb rate
     is scheduled in the HDot Command component, below. For the given altitude
     (left column in the table), the commanded maaximum climb rate divided by 100
     is given in the right column.

  1000.0 ft., then the output from this component would be 24.5 ft. sec.
  The equation representing climb rate for the C-310 is:

  the trigger to halt integration. When the windup trigger is non-zero (when the
  elevator position falls outside the range +/- 23 degrees - a deadband of 46
  degrees) then the deadband passes a non-zero value, triggering the anti-windup
  logic in the integrator.
