Pt. 60, App. B 

(NN) control states, as indicated in this at-
tachment. Where test results are inde-
pendent of control state, Normal or Non-nor-
mal control data may be used. All tests in 
Table B2A require test results in the Normal 
control state unless specifically noted other-
wise in the Test Details section following the 
CCA designation. The NSPM will determine 
what tests are appropriate for airplane sim-
ulation data. When making this determina-
tion, the NSPM may require other levels of 
control state degradation for specific air-
plane tests. Where Non-normal control 
states are required, test data must be pro-
vided for one or more Non-normal control 
states, and must include the least aug-
mented state. Where applicable, flight test 
data must record Normal and Non-normal 
states for: 

(1) Pilot controller deflections or electroni-

cally generated inputs, including location of 
input; and 

(2) Flight control surface positions unless 

test results are not affected by, or are inde-
pendent of, surface positions. 

k. Tests of handling qualities must include 

validation of augmentation devices. FTDs 
for highly augmented airplanes will be vali-
dated both in the unaugmented configura-
tion (or failure state with the maximum per-
mitted degradation in handling qualities) 
and the augmented configuration. Where 
various levels of handling qualities result 
from failure states, validation of the effect 
of the failure is necessary. Requirements for 
testing will be mutually agreed to between 
the sponsor and the NSPM on a case-by-case 
basis. 

l. Some tests will not be required for air-

planes using airplane hardware in the FTD 
flight deck (e.g., ‘‘side stick controller’’). 
These exceptions are noted in Section 2 
‘‘Handling Qualities’’ in Table B2A of this at-
tachment. However, in these cases, the spon-
sor must provide a statement that the air-
plane hardware meets the appropriate manu-
facturer’s specifications and the sponsor 
must have supporting information to that 
fact available for NSPM review. 

m. For objective test purposes, see Appen-

dix F of this part for the definitions of ‘‘Near 
maximum,’’ ‘‘Light,’’ and ‘‘Medium’’ gross 
weight.

n. In those cases where the objective test 

results authorize a ‘‘snapshot test’’ or a ‘‘se-
ries of snapshot test results’’ in lieu of a 
time-history result, the sponsor or other 
data provider must ensure that a steady 
state condition exists at the instant of time 
captured by the ‘‘snapshot.’’ The steady 
state condition must exist from 4 seconds 
prior to, through 1 second following, the in-
stant of time captured by the snap shot. 

o. Refer to AC 120–27, ‘‘Aircraft Weight and 

Balance’’ and FAA–H–8083–1, ‘‘Aircraft 
Weight and Balance Handbook’’ for more in-
formation.
