Eqn.(4)
Stick Free conditions apply to reversible flight control systems, where the control surface 'floats'. If a gust hits the horizontal tail while the pilot is not holding the controls, the tail angle of attack will change; that causes the elevator to 'float' to a new angle which is defined by the flotation condition:

-Hingemoment Derivatives Hingemoment derivatives are used for two purposes: 1. Computing stick, wheel and pedal cockpit control forces so they can be checked against airworthiness requirements. 2. Computing actuator force levels so that hydraulic or electro-mechanical actuators can be properly sized. The method applies only in the linear range of control surface deflections (<20 degrees at best) and in the linear range of angles of attack (roughly 12 degrees). This method is applicable only to plain flap type control surface. The control surface hingemoment along the control surface hinge line is expressed with the help of coefficients:

Trim diagrams: The trim diagram, sometimes called the "trim triangle", describes the relationships between the airplane lift coefficient and the airplane pitching moment. It is a graphical solution based on the following equations. The trim diagram is comprised of a lift coefficient vs. angle of attack graph and a lift coefficient vs. pitching moment coefficient graph. The "trim triangle" is defined as the triangular area bound between the forward and aft center of gravity lines and by the maximum airplane angle of attack line. The trim diagram is useful in determining: 1) Whether or not an airplane can be trimmed at any center of gravity location with reasonable surface deflections at different flight conditions. 2) Whether or not tail stall is a limiting factor in trim. 3) The control surface deflection and lift coefficient at different angles of attack and center of gravity locations. The equations used in the construction of the trim diagram are as follows: The lift coefficient equation is used to plot the lift coefficient -vs- alpha curves: C L C L0 C L C Li ih C L K e h

Eqn. (7)
The complex pair of roots with the highest frequency is referred to as the short period mode, and the lower frequency pair as the phugoid mode. For airplanes with one pair of complex roots and 2 real roots, a mode called the 'third' oscillation results from placing the complex pair in the same form as the short period and phugoid. The real roots are cast into time constants, which are defined as follows:

Longitudinal flight qualities: Short Period and Long Period Frequency and Damping: MIL-F-8785C requires the equivalent short period undamped natural frequency of the short period mode to be within the following limits for the three Flight Phase Categories. Common design practice is to adopt the military requirements because the FAR/VLA requirements do not set specific limits on the undamped natural frequency. The short period undamped natural frequency and the steady state normal acceleration per unit of angle of attack are used to determine the flight phase level. Result has been plotted against the requirement to show the level of satisfactory. For Flight Phase Category C Requirements, the MIL-F-8785C Airplane Class must be known: Four airplane classes are defined in MIL-F-8785C. The classes are: Class I: Small, light airplanes Class II: Medium weight, low-to-medium maneuverability airplanes Class II-C Carrier Based Class II-L Land Based Class III: Large, heavy, low-to-medium maneuverability airplanes Class IV: High maneuverability airplanes It is considered good design practice to use the following military requirements for civilian airplanes. The FAR/VLA requirements only require the short period oscillation to be heavily damped. The equivalent short period damping ratio must be within the limits presented in the following table.

Flying Quality Levels are defined in MIL-F-8785C, "Military Specification - Flying Qualities of Piloted Airplanes." Although the FAR/VLA requirements do not set specific flying quality levels, common design practice is to adopt the military definitions. Airplanes must be designed to satisfy the Level 1 flying quality requirements with all systems in their normal operating state. Level 1: Flying qualities are clearly adequate for the mission Flight Phase. Level 2: Flying qualities are adequate to accomplish the mission Flight Phase, but some increase in pilot workload or degradation in mission effectiveness, or both, exists. Level 3: Flying qualities such that the airplane can be controlled safely, but the pilot workload is excessive or mission effectiveness is inadequate, or both. Category A Flight Phases can be terminated safely, and Category B and Category C Flight Phases can be completed. The required levels of flying qualities are tied into the probability with which certain system failures can occur. For example, it is desired to have: At least Level 1 for airplane normal (no failure) state, At least Level 2 after failures that occur less than once per 100 flights, At least Level 3 after failures that occur less than once per 10,000 flights. Flying quality levels below Level 3 are not allowed except in special circumstances. Each airplane mission can be broken down into a number of sequential flight phases. The flight phase categories are defined in MIL-F-8785C. There are also suggested civilian equivalents to the military definitions. Longitudinal Flight qualities:

The roll performance requirements for the different class airplanes could be found below. FAR 23.157 - Rate of Roll Requirements specifies requirements for controllability and maneuverability for take-off and approach conditions which are listed below. It must be possible to roll the airplane from a steady 30 degree banked turn through an angle of 60 degrees, so as to reverse the direction of the turn within: Take-off Condition: 1. For an airplane of 6000 pounds or less maximum weight, 5 seconds from initiation of roll; and 2. For an airplane of over 6000 pounds maximum weight,

There are no specific requirements for spiral stability in any airplane. However, the military requirements place limits on the allowable divergence of the spiral mode.
Following a disturbance in a bank of up to 20 degrees, the time for the bank angle to double will be greater than the values shown in the table below. This requirement shall be met with the airplane trimmed for wings-level, zero-yaw rate flight with the cockpit controls free:
