Pt. 60, App. B 

(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 FTD model and manufacturer. 
(i) The date of FTD manufacture. 
(j) The FTD 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) 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 of 
this appendix, as applicable to the qualifica-
tion 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 FTD objective 

test results. 

(g) List of all relevant parameters driven 

or constrained during the automatic test(s). 

(h) List of all relevant parameters driven 

or constrained during the manual 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) FTD Objective Test Results as obtained 

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

f. A convertible FTD is addressed as a sepa-

rate FTD for each model and series airplane 
to which it will be converted and for the 
FAA qualification level sought. The NSPM 
will conduct an evaluation for each configu-
ration. If a sponsor seeks qualification for 
two or more models of an airplane type using 
a convertible FTD, the sponsor must provide 
a QTG for each airplane 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. The form and manner of presentation of 

objective test results in the QTG must in-
clude the following: 

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

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

(2) FTD results must be labeled using ter-

minology common to airplane parameters as 
opposed to computer software identifica-
tions. 

(3) Validation data documents included in 

a QTG may be photographically reduced only 
if such reduction will not alter the graphic 
scaling or cause difficulties in scale interpre-
tation or resolution. 

(4) Scaling on graphical presentations 

must provide the resolution necessary to 
evaluate the parameters shown in Attach-
ment 2, Table B2A of this appendix. 

(5) Tests involving time histories, data 

sheets (or transparencies thereof) and FTD 
test results must be clearly marked with ap-
propriate reference points to ensure an accu-
rate comparison between FTD and airplane 
with respect to time. Time histories recorded 
via a line printer are to be clearly identified 
for cross-plotting on the airplane data. Over- 
plots may not obscure the reference data. 

h. The sponsor may elect to complete the 

QTG objective and subjective tests at the 
manufacturer’s facility or at the sponsor’s 
training facility (or other sponsor designated 
location where training will take place). If 
the tests are conducted at the manufactur-
er’s facility, the sponsor must repeat at least 
one-third of the tests at the sponsor’s train-
ing facility in order to substantiate FTD per-
formance. The QTG must be clearly anno-
tated to indicate when and where each test 
was accomplished. Tests conducted at the 
manufacturer’s facility and at the sponsor’s 
designated training facility must be con-
ducted after the FTD is assembled with sys-
tems and sub-systems functional and oper-
ating in an interactive manner. The test re-
sults must be submitted to the NSPM. 

i. The sponsor must maintain a copy of the 

MQTG at the FTD location. 

j. All FTDs for which the initial qualifica-

tion is conducted after May 30, 2014, must 
have an electronic MQTG (eMQTG) including 
all objective data obtained from airplane 
testing, or another approved source (refor-
matted or digitized), together with corre-
lating objective test results obtained from 
the performance of the FTD (reformatted or 
digitized) as prescribed in this appendix. The 
eMQTG must also contain the general FTD 
performance or demonstration results (refor-
matted or digitized) prescribed in this appen-
dix, and a description of the equipment nec-
essary to perform the initial qualification 
evaluation and the continuing qualification 
evaluations. The eMQTG must include the
