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

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 results 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 air-

plane hardware in the FFS. The alter-

native method applies to airplanes that 

do not exhibit ‘‘stick-force-per-g’’ char-

acteristics.

CCA: Test in normal and non-normal 

control states.

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

Longitudinal Static Sta-

bility.

±

5 lb (

±

2.2 daN) or 

±

10% 

pitch controller force. Al-

ternative method: 

±

1

° 

or 

±

10% change of elevator.

Approach

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

Record results for at least 2 speeds 

above and 2 speeds below trim speed. 

May be a series of snapshot test re-

sults. The force tolerance is not appli-

cable if forces are generated solely by 

the use of airplane hardware in the 

FFS. The alternative method applies 

to airplanes that do not exhibit speed 

stability characteristics.

CCA: Test in normal or non-normal con-

trol states.

2.c.8.

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

Stall Characteristics

........

±

3 kt airspeed for initial buf-

fet, stall warning, and stall 

speeds. 

±

2

° 

bank for 

speeds greater than stick 

shaker or initial buffet. Ad-

ditionally, for those sim-

ulators with reversible 

flight control systems: 

±

10% or 

±

5 lb (2.2 daN) 

Stick/Column force (prior 

to ‘‘g break’’ only).

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 

signal and initial buffet, if applicable. 

Time history data must be recorded 

for full stall and initiation of recovery. 

The stall warning signal must occur in 

the proper relation to buffet/stall. FFSs 

of airplanes exhibiting a sudden pitch 

attitude change or ‘‘g break’’ must 

demonstrate this characteristic.

CCA: Test in normal and non-normal 

control states.
