Revisions to V/STOL handling qualities criteria of AGARD report 408A brief review of selected handling qualities criteria for V/STOL aircraft shows that although a clearer understanding of the requirements for controversial areas such as roll control power, vertical flight path control, and transition is in hand, considerably more research is needed to refine these criteria for operational IFR activity. Because many items interact to influence the pilots' overall impression of the aircraft's behaviour, additional work of a systematic nature must be done to clarify this aspect. A better definition of a gust model which includes discrete gust effects is needed to firm up criteria for both hover and STOL operation.
