1. A

PPLICABILITY

 

This attachment applies to all simulators, 

regardless of qualification level, that are 
used to satisfy the training requirements of 
an FAA-approved low-altitude windshear 
flight training program, or any FAA-ap-
proved training program that addresses 
windshear encounters.

TATEMENT OF

C

OMPLIANCE AND

C

APABILITY

 

(SOC) 

a. The sponsor must submit an SOC con-

firming that the aerodynamic model is based 
on flight test data supplied by the airplane 
manufacturer or other approved data pro-
vider. The SOC must also confirm that any 
change to environmental wind parameters, 
including variances in those parameters for 
windshear conditions, once inserted for com-
putation, result in the correct simulated per-
formance. This statement must also include 
examples of environmental wind parameters 
currently evaluated in the simulator (such 
as crosswind takeoffs, crosswind approaches, 
and crosswind landings). 

b. For simulators without windshear warn-

ing, caution, or guidance hardware in the 
original equipment, the SOC must also state 
that the simulation of the added hardware 
and/or software, including associated flight 
deck displays and annunciations, replicates 
the system(s) installed in the airplane. The 
statement must be accompanied by a block 
diagram depicting the input and output sig-
nal flow, and comparing the signal flow to 
the equipment installed in the airplane. 

3. M

ODELS

 

The windshear models installed in the sim-

ulator software used for the qualification 
evaluation must do the following: 

a. Provide cues necessary for recognizing 

windshear onset and potential performance 
degradation requiring a pilot to initiate re-
covery procedures. The cues must include all 
of the following, as appropriate for the por-
tion of the flight envelope: 

(1) Rapid airspeed change of at least 

±

15 

knots (kts). 

(2) Stagnation of airspeed during the take-

off roll. 

(3) Rapid vertical speed change of at least 

±

500 feet per minute (fpm). 

(4) Rapid pitch change of at least 

±

5

°

. 

b. Be adjustable in intensity (or other pa-

rameter to achieve an intensity effect) to at
