This paper presents the results of two flight simulator studies performed at NLR. The objective of these two simulator studies was to verify two different control concepts for manual flight developed for a future regional aircraft, as well as to find the best Flight Director display for each control option. Results presented in this report inicate that the control system with control augmentation reduce pilot workload. This control system was based in the pitch axis on flight path rate command, flight path angle hold, and in the lateral axis on roll rate command, attitude hold control laws. Further results indicate that a Flight Path Director display based on Flight Path Angle (without drift information) increased pilot rating of pitch situational awareness compared to a conventional cross bar flight director presentation.
