a. This paragraph (including the following 

tables) is relevant only to FTD Level 5. It is 
provided because this level is required to 
simulate the performance and handling char-
acteristics of a set of airplanes with similar 
characteristics, such as normal airspeed/alti-
tude operating envelope and the same num-
ber and type of propulsion systems (engines). 

b. Tables B2B through B2E reflect FTD 

performance standards that are acceptable 
to the FAA. A sponsor must demonstrate 
that a device performs within these param-
eters, as applicable. If a device does not meet 
the established performance parameters for 
some or for all of the applicable tests listed 
in Tables B2B through B2E, the sponsor may 

use NSP accepted flight test data for com-
parison purposes for those tests. 

c. Sponsors using the data from Tables B2B 

through B2E must comply with the fol-
lowing: 

(1) Submit a complete QTG, including re-

sults from all of the objective tests appro-
priate for the level of qualification sought as 
set out in Table B2A. The QTG must high-
light those results that demonstrate the per-
formance of the FTD is within the allowable 
performance ranges indicated in Tables B2B 
through B2E, as appropriate. 

(2) The QTG test results must include all 

relevant information concerning the condi-
tions under which the test was conducted; 

e.g.

, gross weight, center of gravity, airspeed, 

power setting, altitude (climbing, descend-
ing, or level), temperature, configuration, 
and any other parameter that impacts the 
conduct of the test. 

(3) The test results become the validation 

data against which the initial and all subse-
quent continuing qualification evaluations 
are compared. These subsequent evaluations 
will use the tolerances listed in Table B2A. 

(4) Subjective testing of the device must be 

performed to determine that the device per-
forms and handles like an airplane within 
the appropriate set of airplanes.
