Keywords: flight dynamics, bifurcation analysis, free play

In the paper we will discuss over the operation and the joint action of aircraft’s longitudinal control system units. We will introduce: the models of free – play: friction, , and servomechanisms dynamics, regarding the limitations putting on movement of individual executive units of arrangement of rudder control system.
