MIL-H-8501B is a mission-oriented rotorcraft handling-qualities specification which prescribes the desired vehicle command response as a function of the mission task and the usable visual cues. It covers failures and flight envelopes, like MIL-F-8785C, but adds a novel concept in compliance testing in the form of a set of flight demonstration maneuvers. The proponents of this proposed specification including the authors, recognize that there are still many topics that are inadequately covered by it; they argue that it is nonetheless a significant improvement and should be adopted.
