EUROCAE has published its ED-295 standard – Guidance on VTOL Flight Control Handling Qualities Verification
According to the organisation:
“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.”
