A. Rate the effectiveness
of the aerodynamic controls Still effective.
B. Rate the effectiveness
of the reaction controls Adequate.
C. Was the effectiveness
crossover noted X yes no. (Near peak)
D. Was the proportionality
of the reaction controls apparent, yes no. (Not used) Was the half
detent noticed X yes. (Appears as stop)
E. Was the reaction
control deadband satisfactory for preventing inadvertent control inputs
yes no. (Did not observe any - however on preflight check inadvertent
inputs occurred)
F. Rate the presentation
for this control task Satisfactory.
G. Was null bar
(a), angle of attack meter (b) or both for cross reference (c) used, for
pushover c for a
= 4° b .
H. Was the airplane
attitude controlled to ±6° pitch and yaw, ±20° roll
( ); ±3° pitch and yaw, ±lO° roll ( X ); or
±l° pitch and yaw, ±3° roll ( ).
I. Was the outside
visual environment through peripheral visual useful as an attitude reference
X yes, no. Not noticed .
J. Was control task
performed leisurely or hurriedly. Leisurely - but errors were not allowed
to build up.
K. Indicate the
effect of zero g environment on the ability of the pilot to
Control O %
X none
Breathe normally
O % X none
Any unusual feelings
or sensations. None - except brief falling
sensation.
L. Did negative
pitch rate of the trajectory noticeably increase the difficulty of the
control task. Yes no X .
M. Did airplane
oscillations at low q provide feel enabling the pilot to lead the airplane
motions to supplement the pilot's display, Yes no X .
N. Was reaction
control ( ) aerodynamic control ( X ) trim ( X ) or
combinations ( X ) used to set up entry angle of attack.
