This Aerospace Recommended Practice will identify the problem with latency in the pilot's instrument control of an aircraft. Recommended evaluation techniques to characterize control problems will be documented.

Prevention of catastrophic upset mishaps cannot depend solely on recovery training. The proposed document should complement the training initiatives already in place. As a committee dealing with transport human factors and handling qualities, the output must consider both issues. At the same time, we cannot ignore initial and recurrent training issues and the widespread use of ground-based simulators. The plan would follow the approach taken in the 2003 S-7 white paper but would extend the scope to all forms of LOC, not just repeated rudder reversals. As with the white pa-per, the new document would have sections on transport handling qualities, flight control modes, aircraft displays, simulator requirements, and approval for IFR test evaluations as well as covering training issues. This new document would complement, not replace documents such as the Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid.

The scope of this document is to provide review of recent history of loss-of-control accidents during airline revenue operations.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) recommends criteria for an Electronic Data Management System (EDMS) for use on the flight deck of transport aircraft. The EDMS may be the primary, and in some cases sole, on board source of documentation and information for flight operations, engineering, aircraft maintenance, cabin services, and training. This document addresses flight operations applications only. It addresses the requirements for the flight deck characteristics of airborne equipment elements for an Electronic Data Management System (EDMS), but not the ground support system requirements. Development of ground support systems for EDMS will be a significant task, which must take account of the end-user information handing requirements specified here. An Electronic Library System (ELS) is a partial implementation of EDMS, which incorporates only the data storage, retrieval and display functions.

This document recommends display criteria for instrumentation on the flight deck of transport aircraft, taking account of human factors that affect engineering design.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is intended to specify the environmental conditions necessary to permit the operating crew of large civil transport aircraft to perform their required duties and functions in comfort, with minimum fatigue and no distraction. Environmental conditions should cause no short or long-term effects deleterious to health or physical well being, nor significantly impair ability to perform normal flight deck crew functions.

This document recommends criteria for the flight deck display of an On Board Weight and Balance System. The system may have the capability of a primary operational device or be a secondary advisory source of information of weight and center of gravity position. The recommendations apply to transport aircraft and describe the operational and functional requirements for the display of an On Board Weight and Balance System.

This document recommends criteria and requirements for a flight management system (FMS) for transport aircraft. The FMS shall provide the functions of lateral navigation, vertical navigation, and performance management and may include time of arrival control. The FMS design shall take human factors considerations into account to produce a fault tolerant system.

This document specifies the requirements for the design objectives for handling qualities applicable to transport aircraft operating in the subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speed range. These objectives are not necessarily applicable to rotor or VTOL aircraft.

INTRODUCTION This report is intended to encourage more effort to be directed toWard improving the pilot's visibility from the cockpit of transport type aircraft wih the ultimate objective of improving safety. In the preparation of this Aeronautical Information Report, consideration Was given to pilot surveys made by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, studies made by manufacturers, and a review of the cockpit visibility provided in present day transport aircraf`t. It is recognized that a rigid specification is undesirable and may restrict development and utilization of initiative. For this reason the report is in general terms and offered as a guide.

This document recommends criteria for a system designed to manage and communicate information via data link to support flight operations.

This document recommends criteria for standardizing flight deck interior doors and their operation to optimize their use under normal and emergency conditions.

This document specifies requirements for both an airborne Microwave Landing System (MLS) receiver and an MLS area navigation (MLS/RNAV) system. This equipment shall derive aircraft position and guidance for flight along precision three-dimensional paths within the MLS coverage.

This document recommends criteria for Airborne Windshear Systems, including operational objectives, characteristics and functional requirements. The recommendations of the document apply to transport aircraft, and describe the operational objectives of windshear alerting systems, situational displays, guidance systems and avoidance/detection systems.

This document specifies requirements for an Approach to Landing Guidance System (ALGS) electronic device. This equipment shall display relative aircraft position and situation information for flight along precision three-dimensional paths within the appropriate coverage area. The precision three-dimensional path may be an ILS straight-in look-alike path or a complex, curved path. The requirements are applicable to electronic devices capable of receiving signals or other information from one or more sources, including but not limited to ILS, GNSS, or IRU inputs.
