This report presents the results of a limited evaluation of human pilot response during single and multiaxis tracking tasks. A five member team from the USAF Test Pilot School conducted this evaluation at Buffalo, New York, from 8 to 11 October 1993. Five sorties totaling 7.6 hours were flown in the Calspan variable stability Lear II aircraft. Ground simulations in Lear II were also performed. Four, different pitch and four different roll dynamics were evaluated using three different single and multiaxis tracking tasks. For each set of dynamics, primary pilot response parameters were recorded and examined using Fourier transform analysis in an attempt to provide a data base for pilot model development and validation. Pilot comments and Cooper-Harper ratings were also recorded. The flight test data gathered during this project are maintained at the Air Force Flight Dynamics Directorate (WL/FIGC), Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433 and are available for research purposes. This report. serves as a guide for these flight test data and gives an initial look at the test results. Compensatory tracking tasks, Pilot models, Frequency response, Human pilot response.
