Notes
2.a.1.a. .............................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Pitch controller position vs. force
and surface position calibration.
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 sys-
tems, surface
position data
acquisition
should be ac-
complished
with winds
less than 5
kts.
2.a.2.a. .............................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Wheel position vs. force and sur-
face position calibration.
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 sys-
tems, surface
position data
acquisition
should be ac-
complished
with winds
less than 5
kts.
2.a.3.a. .............................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Rudder pedal position vs. force and
surface position calibration.
Surface position data may be acquired from flight data recorder (FDR)
sensor or, if no FDR sensor, at selected, significant rudder pedal po-
sitions (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 sys-
tems, surface
position data
acquisition
should be ac-
complished
with winds
less than 5
kts.
2.a.4. ................................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Nosewheel steering force.
Breakout data may be acquired with a hand held force gauge. The re-
mainder 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 tests.
Rudder pedal steering calibration.
Data may be acquired through the use of force pads on the rudder
pedals and a pedal position measurement device, together with de-
sign data for nosewheel position.
2.a.6. ................................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Pitch trim indicator vs. surface posi-
tion calibration.
Data may be acquired through calculations.
2.a.8. ................................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Alignment of power lever angle vs.
selected engine parameter (e.g.,
EPR, N
1
, Torque, Manifold pres-
sure).
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.
2.a.9. ................................................
Handling qualities.
Static control tests.
Brake pedal position vs. force.
Use of design or predicted data is acceptable. Data may be acquired
by measuring deflection at ‘‘zero’’ and at ‘‘maximum.’’
