ISCUSSION

 

a. For the purposes of this attachment, the 

flight conditions specified in the Flight Con-
ditions Column of Table B2A, are defined as 
follows: 

(1) Ground—on ground, independent of air-

plane configuration; 

(2) Take-off—gear down with flaps/slats in 

any certified takeoff position; 

(3) First segment climb—gear down with 

flaps/slats in any certified takeoff position 
(normally not above 50 ft AGL); 

(4) Second segment climb—gear up with 

flaps/slats in any certified takeoff position 
(normally between 50 ft and 400 ft AGL); 

(5) Clean—flaps/slats retracted and gear up; 
(6) Cruise—clean configuration at cruise 

altitude and airspeed; 

(7) Approach—gear up or down with flaps/ 

slats at any normal approach position as rec-
ommended by the airplane manufacturer; 
and 

(8) Landing—gear down with flaps/slats in 

any certified landing position. 

b. The format for numbering the objective 

tests in Appendix A, Attachment 2, Table 

A2A, and the objective tests in Appendix B, 
Attachment 2, Table B2A, is identical. How-
ever, each test required for FFSs is not nec-
essarily required for FTDs. Also, each test 
required for FTDs is not necessarily required 
for FFSs. Therefore, when a test number (or 
series of numbers) is not required, the term 
‘‘Reserved’’ is used in the table at that loca-
tion. Following this numbering format pro-
vides a degree of commonality between the 
two tables and substantially reduces the po-
tential for confusion when referring to objec-
tive test numbers for either FFSs or FTDs. 

c. The reader is encouraged to review the 

Airplane Flight Simulator Evaluation Hand-
book, Volumes I and II, published by the 
Royal Aeronautical Society, London, UK, 
and FAA AC 25–7, as amended, Flight Test 
Guide for Certification of Transport Cat-
egory Airplanes, and AC 23–8, as amended, 
Flight Test Guide for Certification of Part 23 
Airplanes, for references and examples re-
garding flight testing requirements and tech-
niques. 

d. If relevant winds are present in the ob-

jective data, the wind vector should be clear-
ly noted as part of the data presentation, ex-
pressed in conventional terminology, and re-
lated to the runway being used for the test. 

e. A Level 4 FTD does not require objective 

tests and therefore, Level 4 is not addressed 
in the following table.
