THE YAW RETURN MANEUVER - THE REGULATORY HISTORY, FUTURE, AND IMPACT ON THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN LOADS

摘要

The United States and Europe have similar regulations for the yaw maneuver, found in FAR 27/29.351 and CS 27/29.351. However, the interpretation of these regulations has varied, causing confusion about how to obtain certification for both the American and European communities. In an attempt to harmonize the regulatory criteria, a working committee was formed to examine the yaw maneuver interpretation. The working committee history, its current status, and the future work are examined. Also included in the discussion is how the variances in interpretation affect the design loads in the tailboom and aft fuselage.
