2.c.6.

........

Longitudinal Maneuvering 

Stability (Stick Force/g).

±

5 lb (

±

2.2 daN) or 

±

10% 

pitch controller force Al-

ternative method: 

±

1

° 

or 

±

10% change of elevator.

Cruise, Approach, and 

Landing.

Continuous time history data or a series 

of snapshot tests may be used. Record 

results up to 30

° 

of bank for approach 

and landing configurations. Record re-

sults for up to 45

° 

of bank for the cruise 

configuration. The force tolerance is not 

applicable if forces are generated solely 

by the use of airplane hardware in the 

FTD. The alternative method applies to 

airplanes that do not exhibit ‘‘stick- 

force-per-g’’ characteristics. CCA: Test 

in Normal and Non-normal control 

states.

2.c.7.

........

Longitudinal Static Stability

±

5 lb (

±

2.2 daN) or 

±

10% 

pitch controller force.

Alternative method: 

±

1

° 

or 

±

10% change of elevator.

Approach

.............................

May be a series of snapshot test results. 

Record results for at least 2 speeds 

above and 2 speeds below trim speed. 

The force tolerance is not applicable if 

forces are generated solely by the use 

of airplane hardware in the FTD. The 

alternative method applies to airplanes 

that do not exhibit speed stability char-

acteristics. Level 5 must exhibit positive 

static stability, but need not comply with 

the numerical tolerance. CCA: Test in 

Normal and Non-normal control states.

2.c.8.

........

Stall Warning (actuation of 

stall warning device.).

±

3 kts. airspeed, 

±

2

° 

bank 

for speeds greater than 

actuation of stall warning 

device or initial buffet.

Second Segment Climb, 

and Approach or Landing.

The stall maneuver must be entered with 

thrust at or near idle power and wings 

level (1g). Record the stall warning sig-

nal and initial buffet if applicable. CCA: 

Test in Normal and Non-normal control 

states.

2.c.9.a.

.....

Phugoid Dynamics

..............

±

10% period, 

±

10% of time 

to 

1

2

or double amplitude 

or 

±

.02 of damping ratio.

Cruise

..................................

The test must include whichever is less of 

the following: Three full cycles (six over-

shoots after the input is completed), or 

the number of cycles sufficient to deter-

mine time to 

1

2

or double amplitude. 

CCA: Test in Non-normal control state.

2.c.9.b.

.....

Phugoid Dynamics

..............

±

10% period, Representa-

tive damping.

Cruise

..................................

The test must include whichever is less of 

the following: Three full cycles (six over-

shoots after the input is completed), or 

the number of cycles sufficient to deter-

mine representative damping. CCA: 

Test in Non-normal control state.
