Abstract
A steering control equipment has a controller having a provisional-target-angular-position calculating section calculating a provisional target angular position of a steering mechanism corresponding to the operation amounts of a steering handle and rudder pedals, a speed setting section setting the aircraft speed on the basis of detected ground speed and airspeed, a target-angular-position limiting section outputting the provisional target angular position as a final target angular position when the calculated provisional target angular position is equal to or lower than a limit value corresponding to the set speed and outputting the limit value as a final target angular position when the calculated provisional target angular position is larger than the limit value, and a actuating control section controlling an actuating mechanism for actuating the steering mechanism so that the output final target angular position and the actual angular position of the steering mechanism detected coincide with each other.
