The Total In-Flight Simulator (TIFS) airplane was used to investigate the application of direct side force control (DSFC) to alleviate the crosswind landing problem. The airplane was configured to simulate the characteristics of a Class II STOL aircraft for these tests. Fifty-four evaluations were accomplished, including the first demonstration of the use of DSFC to perform wings-level crosswind landings. It was concluded that DSFC significantly improved the pilot's ability to perform a crosswind landing and was particularly beneficial when the basic airplane exibited degraded flying qualities.
