2.a.1.a. Handling Qualities. Static Control Checks. Pitch Controller Position vs. Force and
Surface Position Calibration.

X

X

Surface position data may be acquired
from flight data recorder (FDR) sensor
or, if no FDR sensor, at selected, significant column positions (encompassing significant column position data
points), acceptable to the NSPM, using
a control surface protractor on the
ground. Force data may be acquired by
using a hand held force gauge at the
same column position data points.

For airplanes with reversible
control systems, surface position data acquisition should
be accomplished with winds
less than 5 kts.

2.a.2.a. Handling Qualities. Static Control Checks. Roll Controller Position vs. Force and
Surface Position Calibration.

X

X

Surface position data may be acquired
from flight data recorder (FDR) sensor
or, if no FDR sensor, at selected, significant wheel positions (encompassing
significant wheel position data points),
acceptable to the NSPM, using a control surface protractor on the ground.
Force data may be acquired by using a
hand held force gauge at the same
wheel position data points.

For airplanes with reversible
control systems, surface position data acquisition should
be accomplished with winds
less than 5 kts.

2.a.3.a. Handling Qualities. Static Control Checks. Rudder
Pedal Position vs. Force and
Surface Position Calibration.

X

X

Surface position data may be acquired
from flight data recorder (FDR) sensor
or, if no FDR sensor, at selected, significant rudder pedal positions (encompassing significant rudder pedal position
data points), acceptable to the NSPM,
using a control surface protractor on the
ground. Force data may be acquired by
using a hand held force gauge at the
same rudder pedal position data points.

For airplanes with reversible
control systems, surface position data acquisition should
be accomplished with winds
less than 5 kts.

2.a.4. Handling Qualities. Static
Control Checks. Nosewheel
Steering Controller Force and
Position.

X

X

Breakout data may be acquired with a
hand held force gauge. The remainder
of the force to the stops may be calculated if the force gauge and a protractor are used to measure force after
breakout for at least 25% of the total
displacement capability.

2.a.5. Handling Qualities. Static
Control Checks. Rudder
Pedal Steering Calibration.

X

X

Data may be acquired through the use of
force pads on the rudder pedals and a
pedal position measurement device, together with design data for nosewheel
position.

2.a.6. Handling Qualities. Static
Control Checks. Pitch Trim Indicator vs. Surface Position
Calibration.

X

X

Data may be acquired through calculations.

2.a.7. Handling qualities. Static
control tests. Pitch trim rate.

X

X

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of pitch trim indication
and elapsed time through range of trim
indication.

2.a.8. Handling Qualities. Static
Control tests. Alignment of
Flight deck Throttle Lever
Angle vs. Selected engine parameter.

X

X

Data may be acquired through the use of
a temporary throttle quadrant scale to
document throttle position. Use a synchronized video to record steady state
instrument readings or hand-record
steady state engine performance readings.
