HLSR—Roll Axis Response Criteria

Bandwidth criterion: The BW criterion of roll axis response (RAR) is similar to the pitch axis response (PAR) BW criterion.

Dynamic stability criterion: The dynamic stability criterion addresses the oscil­latory roll modes following a lateral doublet in hover. These oscillations are dom­inated by DR mode. The limits on the natural frequency and damping of these oscillations are similar to the pitch axis limits.

Altitude quickness criterion: The altitude quickness criterion is for the bank angle changes of moderate amplitude between 10° and 60°.

Large amplitude criterion: This measures the absolute control power in terms of the maximum achievable roll rate (for a rate-command system). It measures the maximum achievable roll altitude change for an altitude command system. A typical limit for moderate agility MTE is ±50°/s for Level 1 HQ.
