The relationship between handling and safety is an important link to make; even more so because in the drive to ‘weather‐proof’ flight operations future rotorcraft will be required to perform roles in more degraded conditions than is currently possible with safety. Hence an understanding of the ways degradation can occur, and some of the consequences, can assist in forming the requirements for day‐night, all‐weather augmentation systems. Handling qualities degradation is described in four categories: degradation resulting from flight in degraded visual conditions; degradation results from flight system failures, both transient and steady state; degradation resulting from flight in severe atmospheric disturbances; and degradation resulting from loss of control effectiveness. During a real‐time session or ‘sortie’, the operator is responsible for ensuring the safe operation of the motion base and can override a pilot's inputs in the event of loss of pilot control.
