Handling qualities of a rate command/attitude hold system for pitch and roll axes, using a sidegrip as pilot's control, were evaluated during flight tests. The influence of heading hold and wing levelling functions were investigated. An MFB 320 flight simulator was used as a flight test vehicle. Overall system behavior was evaluated by two pilots in 84 instrument landing approaches. Pilot-vehicle performance was determined by measured aircraft state and performance parameters. The system clearly reduces the number of pilot command activations during the landing procedure.
