Flying Qualities Flight Testing of Digital Flight Control Systems. Flight Test Techniques Series - Volume 21 (les Essais en vol des performances des systemes de ommande de vol numeriques)

Abstract

This document covers the basics of flying qualities flight testing for digital flight control systems. Most of the techniques and subjects discussed also apply to analog systems as well. The techniques discussed are by no means the only techniques available, nor are they necessarily applicable to every flight test program. Rather, they are a collection of best practices from organizations across NATO, which practice the subject matter. The author hopes that the contents of this text will provide a comprehensive overview of the subject appropriate for experienced engineers, as well as provide a learning source for those new to the subject matter.
