Abstract	This presentation examines various Fly-By-Wire (FBW) augmented manual control design options and criteria for achieving desired handling qualities. Design concepts with different “response types” will be reviewed. The author re-interprets some of the classical Handling Qualities criteria in light of desired response characteristics in the time domain, which can then be evaluated through simulation time histories. A design methodology is discussed that can provide the same aircraft responses to pilot control inputs for different response types, e.g., Pitch-Rate Command/ Attitude Hold and Flight Path Angle (FPA) Rate Command/FPA Hold designs. The role of various feedback and feed-forward signal paths and ways to minimize the need for gain scheduling is discussed.
