Data may be acquired by using an inertial
measurement system and a synchronized video of calibrated airplane
instruments and force/position measurements of flight deck lateral controls.

2.d.4. Handling qualities. Lateral
directional tests. Spiral stability.

X

X

Data may be acquired by using an inertial
measurement system and a synchronized video of calibrated airplane
instruments; force/position measurements of flight deck controls; and a stop
watch.

2.d.5. Handling qualities. Lateral
directional tests. Engine inoperative trim.

X

X

Data may be hand recorded in-flight using
high resolution scales affixed to trim
controls that have been calibrated on
the ground using protractors on the
control/trim surfaces with winds less
than 5 kts.OR Data may be acquired
during second segment climb (with
proper pilot control input for an engineout condition) by using a synchronized
video of calibrated airplane instruments
and force/position measurements of
flight deck controls.

2.d.6. Handling qualities. Lateral
directional tests. Rudder response.

X

X

Data may be acquired by using an inertial
measurement system and a synchronized video of calibrated airplane
instruments and force/position measurements of rudder pedals.

2.d.7. Handling qualities. Lateral
directional tests. Dutch roll,
(yaw damper OFF).

Data may be acquired by using an inertial
measurement system and a synchronized video of calibrated airplane
instruments and force/position measurements of flight deck controls.

2.d.8. Handling qualities. Lateral
directional tests. Steady state
sideslip.

X

X

Data may be acquired by using an inertial
measurement system and a synchronized video of calibrated airplane
instruments and force/position measurements of flight deck controls.
Ground track and wind corrected heading
may be used for sideslip angle.

Information

May be combined with step
input of flight deck roll controller test, 2.d.3.

Trimming during second segment climb is not a certification task and should not be
conducted until a safe altitude is reached.
