Control Surface Freeplay

Control Surface Freeplay is a nonlinear mechanical imperfection in aircraft control systems characterized by a deadband or backlash in the control surface hinge, where input motion does not produce an immediate aerodynamic response due to clearance or looseness in the actuation linkage.
