We are pleased to announce the availability of the following draft EUROCAE document prepared by EUROCAE WG-112 SG-4 “Flight” for Open Consultation:

Draft ED-295 “Guidance on VTOL Flight Control Handling Qualities Verification”

This document presents a way to collect evidence to complement the Modified Handling Qualities Rating Method (MHQRM) presented in Proposed Means of Compliance with Special Condition VTOL. The intention of the application of the MHQRM is to demonstrate compliance to the Handling Qualities (HQs) requirements presented in the Special Condition Vertical Take-Off and Landing (SC VTOL). This approach is based on presenting a list of Flight Test Manoeuvres (FTM), complemented by Specific Flights (SpFI), to cover all the different Flight Conditions (FltC) of MHQRM and collect evidence to confirm acceptable levels of HQs.
posted on the EUROCAE workspace.

You are invited to review the proposed draft and complete the comment form. Early replies are encouraged.
