Aeronautical Design Standard, United States Army Aviation and Missile Command - Air Vehicle Flight Performance Description

This Standard Practice Aeronautical Design Standard specifies the flight performance
data required to document the characteristics and capabilities of an air vehicle. It is the
purpose of this standard to provide a clear and complete documentation of the air
vehicle flight performance at a level of detail which is consistent with the current stage
of design/development of the aircraft. The data requirements are divided into three
levels: Level I, Level II, and Level III. Level I (the minimum requirement) addresses
the level of detail which would be available during the late conceptual design or early
preliminary design stage of the air vehicle. Level II addresses the level of detail which
would be available during the late preliminary design or early detailed design stage.
Level III addresses the level of detail which would be available during the late detailed
design or flight test stage. Each level is intended to be consistent with the corresponding
level in ADS—lOC—SP, Air Vehicle Technical Description Selected sections of this
standard may be added to or deleted. This standard is intended to prescribe a minimum
quality of documentation at each Level.

1.1 Purpose. This Standard Practice Aeronautical Design Standard is a
communications tool. It provides a standard set of data requirements to provide
documentation of air vehicle flight performance. This standard contains a set of
requirements designed to be tailored for each contract by the contracting agency. The
tailoring process intended for this standard is the deletion of non—applicable
requirements.

2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in sections 3, 4, and 5
