Investigation of the effect of 'pilot type' on the variability of Handling Qualities Ratings (HQRs)

摘要

1. Variability of HQRs follows basic statistical theory-use as a planning tool2. Hypothesis-there is no significant in the difference in the average HQR due to "pilot type" for an aggressive sidestep maneuver3. Statistical difference between engineers against pilots-validates experiment4. IP differences-did not hide the engineers vs. pilot trend-promotes standardization discussions/process control5. More data-more statistics6. Controls to reduce variability-use industry accepted standards (e.g. disciplined use of HQR scale, clearly defined task and experiment...).
