The identification of aircraft flight dynamics is often performed using frequency responses, which are nonparametric models that quantify the steady-state magnitude and phase of a dynamic system response to sinusoidal inputs, as a function of frequency. Frequency responses are computed from measured input and output data, and then model parameters, such as stability and control derivatives, are estimated to best fit a parametric model to the empirical frequency response data. The utility of this approach is due to the familiarity of engineers with frequency responses, a number of theoretical and practical advantages under specific conditions, the availability of software packages, and many other reasons.
