The automated analysis of flight test data depends on an indicator of when an atmospheric event, or flight maneuver, starts and ends. We use as indicator the disturbance intensity, which is defined as the relative lift change, and can be related either to aerodynamic or flight dynamical parameters. A number of flight test data records, obtained using the Portuguese CASA 212 Aviocar flight test aircraft, are analyzed to show how the start and end of a maneuver are signaled by the disturbance intensity. The latter is a possible objective measure, for a proposed scale of passenger/crew comfort, somewhat analogous to the Cooper-Harper handling qualities scale.
