Data from a representative flight task involving an F-14 'pursuer' aircraft tracking a T-38 'target' aircraft in a 3G wind-up turn and in level flight are processed using a least squares identification technique in an attempt to identify pilot/vehicle dynamics. Comparative identification results are provided by a Fourier coefficient method which requires a carefully designed and implemented input consisting of a sum of sinusoids. The least-squares results compare favorably with those obtained by the Fourier technique. An example of crossover frequency regression is discussed in the light of the conditions of one of the flight configurations.
