Pt. 60, App. A 

least two (2) levels so that upon encoun-
tering the windshear the pilot may identify 
its presence and apply the recommended pro-
cedures for escape from such a windshear. 

(1) If the intensity is lesser, the perform-

ance capability of the simulated airplane in 
the windshear permits the pilot to maintain 
a satisfactory flightpath; and 

(2) If the intensity is greater, the perform-

ance capability of the simulated airplane in 
the windshear does not permit the pilot to 
maintain a satisfactory flightpath (crash). 
Note: The means used to accomplish the 
‘‘nonsurvivable’’ scenario of paragraph 3.b.(2) 
of this attachment, that involve operational 
elements of the simulated airplane, must re-
flect the dispatch limitations of the air-
plane. 

c. Be available for use in the FAA-approved 

windshear flight training program.

EMONSTRATIONS

 

a. The sponsor must identify one surviv-

able takeoff windshear training model and 
one survivable approach windshear training 
model. The wind components of the surviv-
able models must be presented in graphical 
format so that all components of the 
windshear are shown, including initiation 
point, variance in magnitude, and time or 
distance correlations. The simulator must be 
operated at the same gross weight, airplane 
configuration, and initial airspeed during the 
takeoff demonstration (through calm air and 
through the first selected survivable 
windshear), and at the same gross weight, 
airplane configuration, and initial airspeed 
during the approach demonstration (through 
calm air and through the second selected 
survivable windshear). 

b. In each of these four situations, at an 

‘‘initiation point’’ (i.e., where windshear 
onset is or should be recognized), the rec-
ommended procedures for windshear recov-
ery are applied and the results are recorded 
as specified in paragraph 5 of this attach-
ment. 

c. These recordings are made without in-

serting programmed random turbulence. 
Turbulence that results from the windshear 
model is to be expected, and no attempt may 
be made to neutralize turbulence from this 
source. 

d. The definition of the models and the re-

sults of the demonstrations of all four?(4) 
cases described in paragraph 4.a of this at-
tachment, must be made a part of the 
MQTG.

ECORDING

P

ARAMETERS

 

a. In each of the four MQTG cases, an elec-

tronic recording (time history) must be made 
of the following parameters: 

(1) Indicated or calibrated airspeed. 
(2) Indicated vertical speed. 
(3) Pitch attitude. 

(4) Indicated or radio altitude. 
(5) Angle of attack. 
(6) Elevator position. 
(7) Engine data (thrust, N1, or throttle po-

sition). 

(8) Wind magnitudes (simple windshear 

model assumed). 

b. These recordings must be initiated at 

least 10 seconds prior to the initiation point, 
and continued until recovery is complete or 
ground contact is made.

NSTALLATION AND

O

PERATION

 

All windshear warning, caution, or guid-

ance hardware installed in the simulator 
must operate as it operates in the airplane. 
For example, if a rapidly changing wind 
speed and/or direction would have caused a 
windshear warning in the airplane, the simu-
lator must respond equivalently without in-
structor/evaluator intervention.

UIDE

 

a. All QTG material must be forwarded to 

the NSPM. 

b. A simulator windshear evaluation will 

be scheduled in accordance with normal pro-
cedures. Continuing qualification evaluation 
schedules will be used to the maximum ex-
tent possible. 

c. During the on-site evaluation, the eval-

uator will ask the operator to run the per-
formance tests and record the results. The 
results of these on-site tests will be com-
pared to those results previously approved 
and placed in the QTG or MQTG, as appro-
priate. 

d. QTGs for new (or MQTGs for upgraded) 

simulators must contain or reference the in-
formation described in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 
5 of this attachment.

VALUATION

 

The NSPM will fly the simulator in at 

least two of the available windshear sce-
narios to subjectively evaluate simulator 
performance as it encounters the pro-
grammed windshear conditions. 

a. One scenario will include parameters 

that enable the pilot to maintain a satisfac-
tory flightpath. 

b. One scenario will include parameters 

that will not enable the pilot to maintain a 
satisfactory flightpath (crash). 

c. Other scenarios may be examined at the 

NSPM’s discretion.
