In designing a Flight Direct (FD), two aspects have to be considered: effective director-vehicle-system performance and good pilot rating. Recently the knowledge about the human controller has reached a level where the analytical design of a manual control system is possible. With regard to the FD design principles for a FD were developed and applied to a longitudinal FD in landing approach. In the present paper, a lateral FD is designed for the same requirements. The state variables for computing the FD-signal are specified and their influence on the system FD-pilot-vehicle is analytically estimated. (Author)
