2.a.9. Handling qualities. Static 

control tests. Brake pedal po-
sition vs. force and brake sys-
tem pressure calibration.

X 

X 

Use of design or predicted data is accept-

able. Data may be acquired by meas-
uring deflection at ‘‘zero’’ and ‘‘max-
imum’’ and calculating deflections be-
tween the extremes using the airplane 
design data curve.

2.c.1. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Power 
change dynamics.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and throttle position.

2.c.2. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Flap/slat 
change dynamics.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and flap/slat position.

2.c.3. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Spoiler/ 
speedbrake change dynamics.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and spoiler/speedbrake po-
sition.

2.c.4. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Gear 
change dynamics.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and gear position.

2.c.5. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Longitu-
dinal trim.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired through use of an 

inertial measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of flight deck controls 
position (previously calibrated to show 
related surface position) and the engine 
instrument readings.

2.c.6. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Longitu-
dinal maneuvering stability 
(stick force/g).

X 

X 

Data may be acquired through the use of 

an inertial measurement system and a 
synchronized video of calibrated air-
plane instruments; a temporary, high 
resolution bank angle scale affixed to 
the attitude indicator; and a wheel and 
column force measurement indication.

2.c.7. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Longitu-
dinal static stability.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired through the use of 

a synchronized video of airplane flight 
instruments and a hand held force 
gauge.

2.c.8. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Stall 
characteristics.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired through a syn-

chronized video recording of a stop 
watch and calibrated airplane airspeed 
indicator. Hand-record the flight condi-
tions and airplane configuration.

Airspeeds may be cross 

checked with those in the 
TIR and AFM. 

2.c.9. Handling qualities. Longi-

tudinal control tests. Phugoid 
dynamics.

X 

X 

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

2.c.10. Handling qualities. Lon-

gitudinal control tests. Short 
period dynamics.

X 

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.
