    The document discusses the stability of airplanes, defining static stability as an aircraft's initial tendency to oppose perturbations from steady flight conditions without pilot input. Dynamic stability is defined as an aircraft's natural tendency to return to its original trim condition after a disturbance, and while static stability guarantees dynamic stability, the reverse is not true, as dynamic stability depends on the rate that oscillations dampen out which can be damped, undamped, or divergent.

    STABILITY OF AIRPLANE

    Static stability is defined as the initial tendency of an aircraft, without pilot assistance, to
    develop forces and/or moments which oppose an instantaneous perturbation of a motion
    variable from a steady-state flight condition.
    Dynamic stability is defined as the tendency of an aircraft, without pilot assistance, to return to
    the initial steady-state trim condition after a disturbance disturbs the trim values. When an
    aircraft is dynamically stable, it definitely has static stability. However, if an aircraft is
    statically stable, there is no guarantee that it has dynamic stability. Dynamic stability is
    concerned about the rate at which the motion damps out. Stability is associated with damped,
    undamped and divergent oscillations.
