Evaluation des applications du minimanche dans le pilotage des gyravions civils

An evaluation of the handling qualities of civil rotorcraft incorporating force or displacement sensing side-arm controllers with varying levels of control integration was carried out on the IAR Bell 205 Airborne Simulator. Evaluators were certification pilots from the FAA and Transport Canada. The results indicate that integrated 4-axis side-arm control is a viable option for civil rotorcraft operations, even when used in conjunction with very low levels of stability and control augmentation.Les qualit~s de pilotage d'un gyravion civil dquip6 de minimanches de pilotage incorporant des capteurs de forces ou de d6placement avec n'veaux variables d'int~gration des commandes ont W 6valu6es A l'aide du simulateur volant Bell 205 de rIRA.
