BEGIN INFORMATION
1. INTRODUCTION
a. The following is an example test schedule for an Initial/Upgrade evaluation that
covers the majority of the requirements set
out in the Functions and Subjective test requirements. It is not intended that the
schedule be followed line by line, rather, the
example should be used as a guide for preparing a schedule that is tailored to the airplane, sponsor, and training task.
b. Functions and subjective tests should be
planned. This information has been organized as a reference document with the considerations, methods, and evaluation notes
for each individual aspect of the simulator
task presented as an individual item. In this
way the evaluator can design his or her own
test plan, using the appropriate sections to
provide guidance on method and evaluation
criteria. Two aspects should be present in
any test plan structure:
(1) An evaluation of the simulator to determine that it replicates the aircraft and performs reliably for an uninterrupted period
equivalent to the length of a typical training
session.
(2) The simulator should be capable of operating reliably after the use of training device functions such as repositions or malfunctions.
c. A detailed understanding of the training
task will naturally lead to a list of objectives that the simulator should meet. This
list will form the basis of the test plan. Additionally, once the test plan has been formulated, the initial conditions and the evaluation criteria should be established. The evaluator should consider all factors that may
have an influence on the characteristics observed during particular training tasks in
order to make the test plan successful.
