A joint program between CAE Electronics Ltd., Montreal, and the Flight Research Laboratory, NRC, was conducted to develop high fidelity simulator models of the Dash 8 Series 100 and 300 aircraft. This paper focuses primarily on the Series 100 program. The flight test portion of the program entailed a relatively limited set of instrumentation due to aircraft ownership and regulatory constraints. The primary measurements were the basic inertial quantities and flight path reconstruction techniques were used to generate the time histories of other required flight path parameters (such as angle of attack and sideslip). The major portion of flight test data was analyzed using Maximum Likelihood Estimation with reliance on trim condition data for initial model estimates. The final simulator model was validated using specifically designated maneuvers conducted solely for validation purposes.
