While piloting, even the smallest control inputs can have significant effects. A pilot-induced oscillation occurs when a pilot unintentionally creates a feedback loop of control inputs that worsen rather than stabilize an aircraft's flight path. This is especially apparent at high speeds or during complex maneuvers.
