New Specification for Indirect Flight Control Systems in Aircraft
1. Scope
1.1This international industry-consensus specification addresses the design of indirect flight control systems (e.g., fly-by-wire systems) in aircraft. The information herein was originally created by focusing on Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 Normal Category aeroplanes; however, the content may be more broadly applicable, and the application thereof should not be unduly limited. The topics covered within this document are: Functional Requirements Basic FCS Performance Requirements Automatic FCS Performance Requirements Automatic Navigation and Guidance Functional Requirements Maintainability Requirements Methods of Compliance Demonstration DocumentationKeywords

This will become part of the larger ASTM Part 23 library. There is currently no central location to capture the results of the disparate fly-by-wire efforts underway; this specification is intended to consolidate this information into a usable format.
