MIL-HDBK-516D 189 Analysis. (1) Conduct analysis to assess the achievable angular rate (rate response types) or attitude change (attitude response types) as specified in MIL-DTL-32742, Large-Amplitude Pitch (Roll) Attitude Changes paragraph for each air vehicle configuration and loading within the SFE. Test. (1) Lab test: Conduct piloted
