Complex relationships between pilot opinion of handling qualities and aircraft stability and control are greatly influenced by task; present-day instrument flight systems are not designed for control of marginally stable aircraft, so that considerable gap exists between levels of stability acceptable for visual and instrument flight; paper attempts to rationalize causes of gap and shows that full use is never made of pilot's inherent capability to stabilize and control aircraft reducing pilot's role to that of monitor; trend could be reversed by providing display elements compatible with requirement to use pilot as stabilizing device.
