Pt. 60, App. A

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

does not change the original qualification
basis of the simulator.
10. DEMONSTRATION REPEATABILITY
For the purposes of demonstration repeatability, it is recommended that the simulator be flown by means of the simulator-s
autodrive function (for those simulators that
have autodrive capability) during the demonstrations.

ATTACHMENT 6 TO APPENDIX A TO PART 60 - 
FSTD DIRECTIVES APPLICABLE TO AIRPLANE
FLIGHT SIMULATORS
FLIGHT SIMULATION TRAINING DEVICE (FSTD)
DIRECTIVE
FSTD Directive 1. Applicable to all Full
Flight Simulators (FFS), regardless of the
original qualification basis and qualification
date (original or upgrade), having Class II or
Class III airport models available.
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), DOT.
Action: This is a retroactive requirement to
have all Class II or Class III airport models
meet current requirements.
lllllllllllllllllllllll
Summary: Notwithstanding the authoriza
tion listed in paragraph 13b in Appendices A
and C of this part, this FSTD Directive requires each certificate holder to ensure that
by May 30, 2009, except for the airport
model(s) used to qualify the simulator at the
designated level, each airport model used by
the certificate holder-s instructors or evaluators for training, checking, or testing
under this chapter in an FFS, meets the definition of a Class II or Class III airport model
as defined in 14CFR part 60. The completion
of this requirement will not require a report,
and the method used for keeping instructors
and evaluators apprised of the airport models that meet Class II or Class III requirements on any given simulator is at the option of the certificate holder whose employees are using the FFS, but the method used
must be available for review by the TPAA
for that certificate holder.
Dates: FSTD Directive 1 becomes effective
on May 30, 2008.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:
1. Part 60 requires that each FSTD be:
a. Sponsored by a person holding or applying for an FAA operating certificate under
Part 119, Part 141, or Part 142, or holding or
applying for an FAA-approved training program under Part 63, Appendix C, for flight
engineers, and
b. Evaluated and issued an SOQ for a specific FSTD level.

2. FFSs also require the installation of a
visual system that is capable of providing an
out-of-the-flight-deck view of airport models. However, historically these airport models were not routinely evaluated or required
to meet any standardized criteria. This has
led to qualified simulators containing airport models being used to meet FAA-approved training, testing, or checking requirements with potentially incorrect or inappropriate visual references.
3. To prevent this from occurring in the future, by May 30, 2009, except for the airport
model(s) used to qualify the simulator at the
designated level, each certificate holder
must assure that each airport model used for
training, testing, or checking under this
chapter in a qualified FFS meets the definition of a Class II or Class III airport model
as defined in Appendix F of this part.
4. These references describe the requirements for visual scene management and the
minimum distances from which runway or
landing area features must be visible for all
levels of simulator. The airport model must
provide, for each  - in-use runway -  or  - in-use
landing area, -  runway or landing area surface and markings, runway or landing area
lighting, taxiway surface and markings, and
taxiway lighting. Additional requirements
include correlation of the v airport models
with other aspects of the airport environment, correlation of the aircraft and associated equipment, scene quality assessment
features, and the control of these models the
instructor must be able to exercise.
5. For circling approaches, all requirements of this section apply to the runway
used for the initial approach and to the runway of intended landing.
6. The details in these models must be developed using airport pictures, construction
drawings and maps, or other similar data, or
developed in accordance with published regulatory material. However, this FSTD DIRECTIVE 1 does not require that airport models
contain details that are beyond the initially
designed capability of the visual system, as
currently qualified. The recognized limitations to visual systems are as follows:
a. Visual systems not required to have runway numbers as a part of the specific runway
marking requirements are:
(1) Link NVS and DNVS.
(2) Novoview 2500 and 6000.
(3) FlightSafety VITAL series up to, and
including, VITAL III, but not beyond.
(4) Redifusion SP1, SP1T, and SP2.
b. Visual systems required to display runway numbers only for LOFT scenes are:
(1) FlightSafety VITAL IV.
(2) Redifusion SP3 and SP3T.
(3) Link-Miles Image II.
c. Visual systems not required to have accurate taxiway edge lighting are:
(1) Redifusion SP1.
(2) FlightSafety Vital IV.
