This table specifies the minimum airport model content and functionality necessary to add airport models to a simulator-s model
library, beyond those necessary for qualification at the stated level, without the necessity of further involvement of the NSPM
or TPAA.

The direction of strobe lights, approach lights, runway edge lights, visual landing aids, runway centerline lights, threshold lights, and touchdown zone lights on the  - in-use -  runway
must be replicated.

Visual feature recognition. The following are the minimum distances at which runway features must be visible
for simulators at Levels A, B, C, and D. Distances are measured from runway threshold to an airplane aligned
with the runway on an extended 3Section glide-slope in simulated meteorological conditions that recreate the minimum distances for visibility. For circling approaches, all requirements of this section apply to the runway used
for the initial approach and to the runway of intended landing.
Runway definition, strobe lights, approach lights, and runway edge white lights from 5 sm
(8 km) from the runway threshold.

Airport model content. The following prescribes the minimum requirements for what must be provided in an airport model and identifies other aspects of the airport environment that must correspond with that model for simulators at Levels A, B, C, and D. The detail must be developed using airport pictures, construction drawings
and maps, or other similar data, or developed in accordance with published regulatory material; however, this
does not require that airport models contain details that are beyond the designed capability of the currently
qualified visual system. For circling approaches, all requirements of this section apply to the runway used for
the initial approach and to the runway of intended landing. Only one  - primary -  taxi route from parking to the
runway end will be required for each  - in-use -  runway.
