Minimum Flying Qualities. Volume 2. Pilot Modeling for Flying Qualities Applications

Abstract

The project was initiated to explore the modern nature of minimum flying qualities in the presence of modern aircraft and multi-redundant flight control system technology. It had several phases, including: 1) an intensive effort to develop and/or elaborate existing pilot modeling analysis techniques to apply to situations associated with minimum flying qualities, divided attention pilot operations, and multi-axis control tasks; 2) preliminary analyses and associated fixed base simulation to expand the meager multi-axis data base and to serve as pilot studies for more extensive simulations on the Air Force's Large Amplitude Multimode Aerospace Research Simulator; 3) an extensive simulation program on LAMARS to investigate minimum flying qualities and related situations; and 4) analysis and interpretation of both early and LAMARS simulation efforts in the context of the pilot modeling advances. The project documentation appears in three volumes. Volume 1 reports on the results of 2) through 4) above. This volume is a stand-alone monograph on pilot modeling, including procedures for estimating pilot workload as measured by pilot ratings. Volume 111 is a stand-alone monograph which presents a detailed implementation of a much expanded version of the human optimal control model on Program CC.
