In study, airborne V/STOL simulator was used; visual flight task performed by pilots included hovering turns and complete circuit terminated by low speed, steep angle approach to touch-down; simulated steady wind and synthetic lateral turbulence were introduced to represent realistic flight conditions; as dihedral effect was raised, normal operation boundaries moved to higher levels of directional angular rate damping and control sensitivity, while emergency operation boundaries were found to be insensitive to this parameter.
