WK61549 - New Specification for Indirect Flight Control Systems in Aircraft

Work Item

ASTM WK61549

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 Documentation

Keywords

FBW; FBW System

Rationale

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.
