An initial set of aircraft maneuvers has been defined to augment the evaluation methods currently used by the flying qualities and flight test communities. These maneuvers are meant to employ the full range of available aircraft dynamics and to be applied over the full aircraft flight envelope. They include several closed-loop tasks and are the start of a set of demonstration maneuvers (of the type now used in the rotorcraft flying quality specification) for aircraft requirements. A primary goal was to establish a tie between design parameters, aircraft attributes, and the operational usage environment while maintaining control of the evaluation process. The approach was to concentrate on aircraft dynamics which occur in daily operations and to create pilot tasks which use those conditions to relate to important aircraft characteristics. Existing evaluation methods concentrate on comparing quantitative data to charts in MIL-Standards which predict flying qualities. The maneuvers discussed here directly measure the ability of the pilot to perform the tasks of interest and at the same time maintain a tie to the design community.
