			  Letter of appreciation —  ARDU Control Margin Measurement 
              System software
			            ARDU (follow the links from the RAAF 
                          Edinburgh website) was tasked to conduct a handling 
                          qualities assessment of the F-111C. To enable the conduct 
                          of the planned flight testing, a Control Margin Measurement 
                          System (CMMS) was designed and installed into the test 
                          aircraft to assist aircrew in the determination of available 
                          control margins. ARDU elected to sub-contract development 
                          of the CMMS Software to Ebor Computing. 
                        Flight trials were successfully conducted between September and 
                          December 2001. The CMMS system played a central role 
                          in the safe conduct of the handling qualities assessment 
                          flight test program, proving to be invaluable to the 
                          flight test crew. 
            ARDU appreciates the willing and professional support provided 
              by Ebor Computing staff who each worked tirelessly to develop, test, 
              document and offer on-going support for the CMMS Software.
