Description / Abstract:
The scope of this document is quite broad and applies to STOL
aircraft, commercial air transport or utility and/or military
aircraft, and normal category helicopters, compound helicopters and
powered lift vehicles (tiltrotors, tiltfans, tiltwings, etc).
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to set forth the recommendations
of SAE Committee G-10 Vertical Flight Subcommittee relative to the
requirements for, design of, and implementation of vertical flight
aircraft and associated systems into the National Airspace System.
It is to provide a compilation of human factors issues relating to
vertical flight systems. These recommendations are intended to be
easily interpretable to foster discussion and research in the
continuing effort to increase aircraft and crew performance,
efficiency, safety and reducing factors detrimental to flight
safety. In cases where conflicting opinions existed, suitable
compromises were made.
