Abstract
Tabled force values in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) have been used to specify the maximum control forces that an aircraft can exhibit during certification testing, and consequently what forces pilots may be expected to exert on flight controls. The source of these values and the length of time since they were generated suggested an updating of these values to current populations. Data were collected for male and female pilots engaged in Part 121 operations and for nonpilots to supplement data previously collected for these populations and for female pilots engaged in Part 91 activities. Performance data are presented and compared with the tabled values. A strategy is suggested for the use of these data with other civilian-population data to provide a basis for determining what samples can be used to set acceptable force levels.
