Abstract
Flight experiments have been conducted as part of a program to assess requirements for flight-path control for glide-slope tracking and for control of the flare and landing for STOL aircraft. The Augmentor Wing Research Aircraft was used to perform landing approaches on a 7.5 deg glide slope to landings on a 30 x 518 m STOL runway. The flight results identified flight-path overshoot and vertical velocity damping to be the dominant aircraft response characteristics that affect glide-slope tracking. The one prominent contribution to control of flare using pitch attitude was the short-term path response.
