A Limited Evaluation of Predicting Pilot Opinion of Aircraft Handling Qualities in the Landing Phase of Flight Using the Control Anticipation Parameter and Bandwidth Criteria (HAVE CAP).
Abstract
This technical report presents the results of a limited evaluation of predicting pilot opinion of aircraft handling qualities in the landing phase of flight using the control anticipation parameter (CAP) and bandwidth criteria. The objective of this flight-test was to evaluate the validity of predicting pilot opinion using the CAP and bandwidth criteria. The CAP was defined as in MIL-STD-1797A, Flying Qualities of Piloted Aircrafl. The bandwidth criterion used the current definition in MIL-STD- 1 797A along with a new dropback criterion. Actual pilot opinion was obtained by flying the Variable-Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA) NF- 1 6D in the approach and landing phase of flight. Testing was requested by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, and was conducted under the authority of the Commandant, USAF Test Pilot School. The results of this test will be used to revise the short-term pitch response requirements in MIL-STD- 1 797B. This flight-test complemented research done by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio (WL/FIGC), in predicting pilot opinion during the landing phase of flight
