The technical implementation and flight experiments for handling qualities evaluation of a rate-command/attitude-hold system for pitch and roll axes using a sidegrip as pilot's control are described. The influence of maneuver enhancement by DLC, the influence of heading hold, and wing levelling functions were investigated. The HFB 320 in-flight simulator was used as the flight test vehicle. Overall system behavior was evaluated by two pilots in 85 instrument landing approaches. Pilot-vehicle performance was determined by measured aircraft state and performance parameters.
