7. 20 October 2005www.RobertHeffley.com 7 Validation Basis n NATOPS, pilot interviews, commentary n Manned flight, simulator records n Match to aggressiveness, precision, timing n Pilot critique of model behavior in simulator

8. 20 October 2005www.RobertHeffley.com 8 Some Lessons Learned n Pilot modeling demands going beyond compensatory controllers n 3D view an essential component for evaluation of model n Management of overall TPV model essential—requires ability to isolate n Steady turns impact pilot gain, intro large axis coupling effects
