Meaning of stick pusher | Babel Free

Definitions

An automated mechanical device connected to the control column of some aircraft, which pushes the column forward, thus decreasing angle of attack, if the aircraft is approaching a stall.

Examples

“By 2154:45, the AOA had increased to the point⟳ that both the stickshaker and the stickpusher activated. The control⟳ column moved forward⟳ rapidly in response to the activation of the stickpusher, decreasing the pitch angle to -3.5°, the AOA to 0°, and the vertical load⟳ to 0 G. The stickpusher then deactivated, and the flight crew moved the control⟳ column past neutral to about 5° ANU, which caused the pitch angle to increase⟳ to 8° and the AOA to increase⟳ to 11°.”
