2.11.6FstDqualification basis

2.11.6.1 Following satisfactory completion of the initial evaluation and qualification tests, a system of

periodic checks should be established to ensure that FSTDs continue to maintain their initially qualified performance,

functions and other characteristics.

Manual of Criteria for the Qualification

of Flight Simulation Training Devices

2.11.6.2 The NAA having jurisdiction over the FSTD should establish the time interval required for the

recurrent evaluation.

2.12 Adoption of this manual into the regulatory framework

The application of this manual and amendments into the regulatory framework is the responsibility of the

various National Aviation Authorities (NAA) through their regulatory documents such as 14 CFR Part 60, JAR-FSTD

A or other equivalent document (see 2.3.2).

2.13 Future updates of this manual

Appendix D of Volume I, Part II, describes the process to be used for proposed future updates to this document.

2.14 Evaluation handbooks

The Aeroplane Flight Simulator Evaluation Handbook, as amended, is a useful source of guidance for

conducting the tests required to establish that the FSTD under evaluation complies with the criteria set out in this

manual. This two-volume document can be obtained through the Royal Aeronautical Society (see 2.3.2).

Appendix A

REQUIREMENTS FOR FEATURE FIDELITY LEVELS

0. Introduction

This appendix describes the minimum feature fidelity level requirements leading to the qualification of an FSTD

according to an agreed international process. The validation tests and functions and subjective tests listed in

Appendices B and C of this Part should also be consulted when determining the requirements for qualification. Certain

requirements included in this appendix should be supported with a statement of compliance (SOC) and, in some

designated cases, an objective test. The SOC should describe how the requirement was met, such as gear modelling

approach, coefficient of friction sources, etc.

FEATURE GENERAL REQUIREMENT

MOTION CUES

N/A.

Pilot receives an effective and

representative motion cue and stimulus,

which provides the appropriate sensations

of acceleration of the aeroplane’s 6 degrees

of freedom.

Motion cues should always provide a

correct sensation, for the approved use.
