A flight experiment has been conducted using the Canadian National Aeronautical Establishment's variable-stability airborne simulator to define the dynamic response requirements for operations at hover and low speeds. Fourteen Attitude Command/Attitude Hold, Rate, and Rate Command/Attitude Hold configurations were evaluated by six pilots using both conventional controls and a four-axis integrated sidestick over a low-speed course consisting of precision hover, landing, sidestep, and dash/quickstop tasks. The results indicate that with conventional controls all three response-types were acceptable as long as their response bandwidth was sufficiently high, and higher bandwidths were required in roll than in pitch. With the four-axis sidestick, there was a preference for the Rate systems. The range of acceptable bandwidths was lower, and the spread in pilot ratings smaller, than were found in a similar ground-based simulation.
