In this study, the pitch angle of an aircraft is controlled using 4 different methods found in the literature. The linearized longitudinal equations of motion of the aircraft selected to be controlled in this study were obtained from the sources in the literature and the control application was made using the transfer function obtained with certain assumptions. The methods designated were used to calculate the coefficients of the PID controller and the calculations and modeling were done through MATLAB/Simulink. The methods used in the study are mainly as follows: Ziegler-Nichols, Modified Ziegler-Nichols, Tyreus-Luyben, and Astrom and Hagglund. The study aims to determine the best-performing method among these 4 methods for controlling the pitch angle of the aircraft. Comparisons were made on the graphs and tables obtained for the study and the best-performing method was determined.
