Pt. 60, App. A

(2) FFS results must be labeled using terminology common to airplane parameters as
opposed to computer software identifications.
(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 interpretation or resolution.
(4) Scaling on graphical presentations
must provide the resolution necessary to
evaluate the parameters shown in Attachment 2, Table A2A of this appendix.
(5) Tests involving time histories, data
sheets (or transparencies thereof) and FFS
test results must be clearly marked with appropriate reference points to ensure an accurate comparison between the FFS and the
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 must 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 manufacturer-s facility, the sponsor must repeat at least
one-third of the tests at the sponsor-s training facility in order to substantiate FFS performance. The QTG must be clearly annotated 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 conducted after the FFS is assembled with systems and sub-systems functional and operating in an interactive manner. The test results must be submitted to the NSPM.
i. The sponsor must maintain a copy of the
MQTG at the FFS location.
j. All FFSs for which the initial qualification is conducted after May 30, 2014, must
have an electronic MQTG (eMQTG) including
all objective data obtained from airplane
testing, or another approved source (reformatted or digitized), together with correlating objective test results obtained from
the performance of the FFS (reformatted or
digitized) as prescribed in this appendix. The
eMQTG must also contain the general FFS
performance or demonstration results (reformatted or digitized) prescribed in this appendix, and a description of the equipment necessary to perform the initial qualification
evaluation and the continuing qualification
evaluations. The eMQTG must include the
original validation data used to validate
FFS performance and handling qualities in
either the original digitized format from the
data supplier or an electronic scan of the
original time-history plots that were provided by the data supplier. A copy of the
eMQTG must be provided to the NSPM.

k. All other FFSs not covered in subparagraph  - j -  must have an electronic copy of
the MQTG by May 30, 2014. An electronic
copy of the MQTG must be provided to the
NSPM. This may be provided by an electronic scan presented in a Portable Document File (PDF), or similar format acceptable to the NSPM.
l. During the initial (or upgrade) qualification evaluation conducted by the NSPM, the
sponsor must also provide a person who is a
user of the device (e.g., a qualified pilot or
instructor pilot with flight time experience
in that aircraft) and knowledgeable about
the operation of the aircraft and the operation of the FFS.

BEGIN INFORMATION
m. Only those FFSs that are sponsored by
a certificate holder as defined in Appendix F
of this part will be evaluated by the NSPM.
However, other FFS evaluations may be conducted on a case-by-case basis as the Administrator deems appropriate, but only in accordance with applicable agreements.
n. The NSPM will conduct an evaluation
for each configuration, and each FFS must
be evaluated as completely as possible. To
ensure a thorough and uniform evaluation,
each FFS is subjected to the general simulator requirements in Attachment 1 of this
appendix, the objective tests listed in Attachment 2 of this appendix, and the subjective tests listed in Attachment 3 of this appendix. The evaluations described herein will
include, but not necessarily be limited to the
following:
(1) Airplane responses, including longitudinal and lateral-directional control responses (see Attachment 2 of this appendix);
(2) Performance in authorized portions of
the simulated airplane-s operating envelope,
to include tasks evaluated by the NSPM in
the areas of surface operations, takeoff,
climb, cruise, descent, approach, and landing
as well as abnormal and emergency operations (see Attachment 2 of this appendix);
(3) Control checks (see Attachment 1 and
Attachment 2 of this appendix);
(4) Flight deck configuration (see Attachment 1 of this appendix);
(5) Pilot, flight engineer, and instructor
station functions checks (see Attachment 1
and Attachment 3 of this appendix);
(6) Airplane systems and sub-systems (as
appropriate) as compared to the airplane
simulated (see Attachment 1 and Attachment 3 of this appendix);
(7) FFS systems and sub-systems, including force cueing (motion), visual, and aural
(sound) systems, as appropriate (see Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 of this appendix);
