text: e.g., cruise, climb, maneuvers, etc. The region 
  of reversed command is encountered primarily 
  in the low speed phases of flight during takeoff 
  and landing. Because of the extensive low 
  speed flight during carrier operations, 
  the 
  Naval Aviator will be more familiar with the 
  region of reversed command than the ordinary 
  pilot. 
  
  The characteristics of flight in the region’of 
  normal command are illustrated at point A on 
  the second curve of figure 6.2. 
  If the airplane 
  is established in steady, level flight at point A, 
  lift is equal to weight and the power available 
  is set equal to the power required. When the 
  airplane is disturbed to some airspeed slightly 
  greater than point ‘A, a power deficiency exists 
  and, wheq,:the &+la&is 
  disturbed to some air- 
  speed slightly 
  lower than point A, a power 
  excess exists. This relationship provides a 
  tendency for the airplane to return to the equili- 
  brium of point A and resume the original flight 
  condition following a disturbance. Also, the 
  static longitudinal stability of the airplane 
  tends to return the airplane to the original 
  trimmed CL and velocity corresponding to this 
  C,. The phugoid usually has most satisfactory 
  qualities at low values of C,. so the high speed 
  of the region ‘of normal command provides 
  little 
  tendency of. the airplane’s, airspeed to 
  vary or wander abom.
