MOC 1 VTOL.2300
Fly-by-Wire control systems: Definition and Scope
n/a
The definition of flight control system is provided in MOC VTOL.2000.
Due to the distributed propulsion, most VTOL configurations have a closer integration of engines and flight controls than other types of aircraft. To address this specificity, a number of lift/thrust system and flight control system objectives are included in Subpart F – Systems and equipment objectives.
While some definitions are proposed in this MOC to facilitate common references, they do not imply limits in the scope of analyses. For example, in most configurations, the lift/thrust units play a role in the flight control function and should thus be integrated in any related safety analyses (e.g. MOC VTOL.2510, MOC 4 VTOL.2300).
Scope and certification approach covering both engines and flight controls for each project should be proposed by the Applicant for acceptance by the Agency.
