FLYING QUALITIES OF PILOTED AIRCRAFT - CAFE Foundation

MIL–STD–1797AAPPENDIX AVERIFICATION GUIDANCECompliance should be evaluated at likely conditions for mode switching and at the most critical flightconditions. Critical conditions will usually be the corners of the expected operational envelopes (e.g., a SASfor power approach should be switched at the highest and lowest expected airspeeds, at low altitudes). Somefactors which determine critical conditions are given in the discussion of 4.2.6.1. Limited analytical andground–based simulation may be used to supplement actual flight testing, especially in the early stages ofdevelopment, but flight testing is ultimately required.VERIFICATION LESSONS LEARNED286
