Models of the human pilot are well documented for the frequency domain. In this work, a time-dimain, model is used in order to show what happens when an acceptable control strategy is not modified in response to large disturbances. This is intended to represent a case where a pilot might not react immediately because of some distraction. A strategy of glideslope and speed control is presented to illustrate the calculated response to discrete gusts. It is shown that these responses can be amplified, e.g. by a pilot not recognizing the requirement for adjusting his streategy. The objective is not to propose another pilot model, but to suggest an analytical technique of calculating the response to disturbances when an aircraft is controlled by a pilot model based on benign conditions.
