The problem of (local) static output feedback stabilization for a class of minimum phase relative degree two systems is studied. It is shown that, under natural assumptions, it is possible to design a stabilizing static output feedback control law and to give an estimate of the resulting region of attraction. The general results are illustrated via examples.
