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.

This document recommends design criteria for the Flight Deck Alerting System. The FAS shall enhance safety of flight by providing early crew recognition of aircraft system or component status or malfunction as well as of crew operational error. The FAS, therefore, relates to aircraft configuration and flight phase as well as the aircraft systems. To fulfill this objective, the FAS must attract the attention of the crew, must state with clarity the nature and location of the problem, and must be highly reliable and thoroughly responsive to the operational requirements and environment. Wherever possible, it should provide guidance as to the corrective action.

This annex recommends additional design objectives applicable when control laws or control characteristics are modified for the purpose of Flight Envelope Awareness/Protection. While only manually controlled flight is addressed, it is assumed that Autoflight, Autothrottle, or Autothrust performance is compatible.

This document recommends criteria for the installation and operation of a printer intended for use by flight crew members on the flight deck. The printer is used to supply the flight crew with hard copies of information that originates from data sources such as FMS, EDMS, ACMS, CMS, and data link. These criteria are in addition to the specifications of the referenced ARINC Characteristic 744A.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides guidance to achieve the optimum integration of new aircraft systems which have an impact on the cockpit layout or crew operating procedures. This process may also be used for modification of existing cockpits.
