Abstract

The Handling Qualities of the small aircraft equipped with the indirect flight control system (Fly-by-Wire) are analyzed and the preliminary evaluation of different control laws is described. The experimental user-friendly, human-centered, simplified software-based flight control system was designed for perspective general aviation aircraft. Tests have been accomplished on the flight simulation stand equipped with sidestick, throttle lever and flight instrument display. Every evaluator was caring out 2 to 5 five-minutes instrument flights (IR) according to command shown on the screen. PZL110 general aviation aircraft properties and seven modes of control system operation were modeled and examined. Results of evaluation by forty-five commercial pilots are presented. Selected on this way control laws were implemented on the experimental indirect flight control system SPS-1A and tested during flights on the board of the PZL110 testbed aircraft.
