Pt. 60, App. A 

later than 5 business days prior to the sched-
uled evaluation and may be forwarded to the 
NSPM via traditional or electronic means. 

(3) A QTG, acceptable to the NSPM, that 

includes all of the following: 

(a) Objective data obtained from tradi-

tional aircraft testing or another approved 
source. 

(b) Correlating objective test results ob-

tained from the performance of the FFS as 
prescribed in the appropriate QPS. 

(c) The result of FFS subjective tests pre-

scribed in the appropriate QPS. 

(d) A description of the equipment nec-

essary to perform the evaluation for initial 
qualification and the continuing qualifica-
tion evaluations. 

c. The QTG described in paragraph (a)(3) of 

this section, must provide the documented 
proof of compliance with the simulator ob-
jective tests in Attachment 2, Table A2A of 
this appendix. 

d. The QTG is prepared and submitted by 

the sponsor, or the sponsor’s agent on behalf 
of the sponsor, to the NSPM for review and 
approval, and must include, for each objec-
tive test: 

(1) Parameters, tolerances, and flight con-

ditions; 

(2) Pertinent and complete instructions for 

the conduct of automatic and manual tests; 

(3) A means of comparing the FFS test re-

sults to the objective data; 

(4) Any other information as necessary, to 

assist in the evaluation of the test results; 

(5) Other information appropriate to the 

qualification level of the FFS. 

e. The QTG described in paragraphs (a)(3) 

and (b) of this section, must include the fol-
lowing: 

(1) A QTG cover page with sponsor and 

FAA approval signature blocks (see Attach-
ment 4, Figure A4C, of this appendix for a 
sample QTG cover page). 

(2) [Reserved] 
(3) An FFS information page that provides 

the information listed in this paragraph (see 
Attachment 4, Figure A4B, of this appendix 
for a sample FFS information page). For 
convertible FFSs, the sponsor must submit a 
separate page for each configuration of the 
FFS. 

(a) The sponsor’s FFS identification num-

ber or code. 

(b) The airplane model and series being 

simulated. 

(c) The aerodynamic data revision number 

or reference. 

(d) The source of the basic aerodynamic 

model and the aerodynamic coefficient data 
used to modify the basic model. 

(e) The engine model(s) and its data revi-

sion number or reference. 

(f) The flight control data revision number 

or reference. 

(g) The flight management system identi-

fication and revision level. 

(h) The FFS model and manufacturer. 
(i) The date of FFS manufacture. 
(j) The FFS computer identification. 
(k) The visual system model and manufac-

turer, including display type. 

(l) The motion system type and manufac-

turer, including degrees of freedom. 

(4) A Table of Contents. 
(5) A log of revisions and a list of effective 

pages. 

(6) A list of all relevant data references. 
(7) A glossary of terms and symbols used 

(including sign conventions and units). 

(8) Statements of Compliance and Capa-

bility (SOCs) with certain requirements. 

(9) Recording procedures or equipment re-

quired to accomplish the objective tests. 

(10) The following information for each ob-

jective test designated in Attachment 2, 
Table A2A, of this appendix as applicable to 
the qualification level sought: 

(a) Name of the test. 
(b) Objective of the test. 
(c) Initial conditions. 
(d) Manual test procedures. 
(e) Automatic test procedures (if applica-

ble). 

(f) Method for evaluating FFS objective 

test results. 

(g) List of all relevant parameters driven 

or constrained during the automatically con-
ducted test(s). 

(h) List of all relevant parameters driven 

or constrained during the manually con-
ducted test(s). 

(i) Tolerances for relevant parameters. 
(j) Source of Validation Data (document 

and page number). 

(k) Copy of the Validation Data (if located 

in a separate binder, a cross reference for the 
identification and page number for pertinent 
data location must be provided). 

(l) Simulator Objective Test Results as ob-

tained by the sponsor. Each test result must 
reflect the date completed and must be 
clearly labeled as a product of the device 
being tested. 

f. A convertible FFS is addressed as a sepa-

rate FFS for each model and series airplane 
to which it will be converted and for the 
FAA qualification level sought. If a sponsor 
seeks qualification for two or more models of 
an airplane type using a convertible FFS, 
the sponsor must submit a QTG for each air-
plane model, or a QTG for the first airplane 
model and a supplement to that QTG for 
each additional airplane model. The NSPM 
will conduct evaluations for each airplane 
model. 

g. Form and manner of presentation of ob-

jective test results in the QTG: 

(1) The sponsor’s FFS test results must be 

recorded in a manner acceptable to the 
NSPM, that allows easy comparison of the 
FFS test results to the validation data (e.g., 
use of a multi-channel recorder, line printer, 
cross plotting, overlays, transparencies).
