A program to assess the feasibility of piloted STOL approaches along predefined, steep, curved, and decelerating approach profiles was carried out with a powered-lift STOL aircraft. To reduce the pilot workload associated with the basic control requirements of a powered-lift aircraft equipped with redundant controls and operating on the backside of the power curve, separate stability augmentation systems for attitude and speed were provided, as well as a supporting flight director and special electronic cockpit displays. The control, display, and procedural features are described for the flight experiment that led to the conclusion that, given an adequate navigation environment, such constrained approaches may be feasible from a pilot acceptance point of view.
