GARTEUR Flight Mechanics Action Group 01 was set up to assess existing handling qualities criteria for the design of future transport aircraft and where necessary propose new guidelines. Following preparatory investigations at the ONERA flight mechanics facility the main study was undertaken on the NLR flight simulator. The work concentrated on longitudinal control in the landing approach, with particular emphasis on the change in handling qualities which might occur on reverting to backup control system. The results which are presented in the report, together with some general guidelines, are seen as an important contribution to the topic. Tentative measures are proposed, to predict the handling qualities of flightpath control systems, and to predict the magnitude of the change in handling qualities on switching from one control system to another. Further studies are recommended, to extend the range of the work and permit the establishment of more positive guidelines in all axes.
