Title: Validation of a new flying quality criterion for the landing task
Abstract: A strong correlation has been found to exist between flight path angle peak overshoot and pilot ratings for the landing task. The use of flight path overshoot as a flying quality metric for landing is validated by correlation with four different in-flight simulation programs and a ground simulation study. Configurations tested were primarily medium-weight generic transports. As a result of good correlation with this extensive data base, criterion boundaries are proposed for landing based on the flight path peak overshoot metric.
