b. Continuing Qualification Evaluation Test
Results Presentation

(1) The MQTG is created during the initial
evaluation of a flight simulator. This is the
master document, as amended, to which
flight simulator continuing qualification
evaluation test results are compared.
(2) The currently accepted method of presenting continuing qualification evaluation
test results is to provide flight simulator results over-plotted with reference data. Test
results are carefully reviewed to determine if
the test is within the specified tolerances.
This can be a time consuming process, particularly when reference data exhibits rapid
variations or an apparent anomaly requiring
engineering judgment in the application of
the tolerances. In these cases, the solution is
to compare the results to the MQTG. The
continuing qualification results are com-

(1) Flight simulator operators are encouraged to over-plot continuing qualification
validation test results with MQTG flight
simulator results recorded during the initial
evaluation and as amended. Any change in a
validation test will be readily apparent. In
addition to plotting continuing qualification
validation test and MQTG results, operators
may elect to plot reference data as well.
(2) There are no suggested tolerances between flight simulator continuing qualification and MQTG validation test results. Investigation of any discrepancy between the
MQTG and continuing qualification flight
simulator performance is left to the discretion of the flight simulator operator and the
NSPM.

NSPM should look for any change in the
flight simulator performance since initial
qualification.
