Systems developers and testers have assumed that human compensation is measurable, or at least that a cognizant and trained tester is able to identity and detect compensation. More than one study conducted at the Wright- Patterson LAMAPS facility indicates that this is not necessarily true. Test pilots were able to compensate sufficiently to fly and meet defined performance standards on intentionally crippled aircraft flight control designs. These flight control systems were designed to trigger pilot induced oscillations, but in most cases, test pilots could compensate sufficiently to prevent pilot induced oscillations and to control the simulated aircraft. Test pilot compensation hides critical handling qualities cliffs that can lead to loss of an aircraft when encountered by less skilled pilots. This observation has vast ramifications for test, evaluation, and development of all human interface systems.
