Integrated Flight Systems for Multi-EnginedTransport Rotorcraft*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
Scheduled Transport flying has developed continuously and more or less logically over a period of more than thirty years to its present state of regularity. During this time various equipments have been introduced, to help the pilots in their task of flying from A and finding and landing at B in all weathers; and further equipments have been introduced to relieve the pilots of the considerable strain of simultaneously flying the aircraft and using these primary aids.
While many of these equipments have been brought to such a stage of usefulness and reliability as to be regarded as essential to flight safety, they have not encroached on the fundamental safety concept of:
Two pilots.
Adequate “engine out” performance.
Infallible airframe and flying controls.
Fuel reserve for diversion.
