Glum,
I thought your aircraft was a tiltrotor? So I'm confused about your takeoff scenario unless you're always going to do a rolling takeoff - not how I've see Ospreys operate. I would suggest you might want to consider subdivisions of your basic phases - for example many transports' takeoff configuration warning (& thus pilot actions) have a break point at 100kt. For a VSTOL aircraft, I would think in or out of ground effect or vertical or rolling takeoff could all have a bearing on pilot actions. Other major ones would be available Autopilot modes & capabilities - Emergency Descent mode for example. I've never worked on a VSTOL but it's bad enough sorting out the CAS logic for a fixed wing so you've got my sympathy - they'll be making you work this term!
