ARP1281 Actuators: Aircraft Flight Controls, Power Operated, Hydraulic, General Specification For

This aerospace recommended practice provides a framework and suggested procedures or values for requirements for the design, performance, and test of hydraulically powered servoactuators for use in aircraft flight control systems.

The original version of this document was intended for military usage: consequently, the requirements still often reflect such use. However, the basic requirements of this ARP may and should be applicable to commercial usage as well, provided that appropriate considerations are given for the applicable FAR/JAR 25 regulations, hydraulic fluids, and environmental controls.

This recommended practice is a guide and surrogate specification for preparing a detail specification for a particular servoactuator application.
