% APINIT - initializes the autopilot model (except autopilot modes)
%
% This routine initializes the model of the 'Beaver' aircraft, asks
% the user to specify an initial (trimmed) flight condition, and loads
% the actuator and cable models, using the following initialization 
% scheme:
%
% - The parameters of the 'Beaver' model are loaded from the file 
%   aircraft.dat in the FDC data-directory. 
%
% - The initial flight condition is loaded from a *.tri file from 
%   the FDC data-directory. A wide range of initial trimmed flight
%   conditions is available in the default FDC distribution; if this
%   is not sufficient, use ACTRIM to compute additional trimmed flight
%   conditions and save these results to additional *.tri files.
%
% - The used actuator and cable parameters depends on the initial 
%   value of the airspeed:
%
%      V < 40 m/s        : actmod35.dat
%      40 <= V <= 50 m/s : actmod45.dat
%      V > 50 m/s        : actmod55.dat
%
%   where the number in the actmod*.dat files corresponds with the
%   velocity for which the actuator and cable data were determined.
%
% Please notice that these initialization rules are quite restrictive
% and specific: the initialization routine does not try to cover all
% possible situations; it just offers a quick solution for the most
% common types of autopilot simulations. 
%
% If you want to deviate from these initialization rules (e.g. use 
% cable & actuator parameters, which are not 'compatible' with the 
% initial airspeed, or load the aircraft data from a different file 
% than aircraft.dat) it will be necessary to modify this file, or 
% create a custom initialization routine yourself.
