In order to assess ground handling characteristics of civil aircraft during the preliminary design stage, an evaluation method considering the special requirements of airworthiness standard is proposed based on digital virtual flight testing. According to the context of specific airworthiness clause, limitations of aircraft ground motion parameters of importance are set up as quantitative aircraft ground handling criterion. A nonlinear aircraft ground motion model and pilot control models are established and synthesized to predict the dynamic response of aircraft while performing pilot-in-loop ground operations such as takeoff and landings. Comparing simulation results with criterion mentioned before, an assessment of airworthiness compliance is made. Finally, applying the new evaluation method, analysis of ground handling characteristics is conducted on a new type of transport aircraft during symmetric landing, and influences of wheel longitudinal location and final approach parameters' selection on longitudinal stability and control are also delivered.
