The response of an aircraft as a function of time on encountering an isolated ramp gust is derived from its response to a unit step gust. Two Fortran programs are described which treat separately straight ramp and smooth ramp (one-minus-cosine) gust profiles. The (critical) gust length causing maximum dynamic response is determined and responses to simple gust patterns (pairs) are investigated. (Author)
