the scheduled evaluation and may be for-
warded to the NSPM via traditional or elec-
tronic means.

(3) A QTG, acceptable to the NSPM, that

includes all of the following:

testing or another approved source.

(b) Correlating objective test results ob-

tained from the performance of the FFS as
prescribed in the appropriate QPS.

scribed in the appropriate QPS.

(d) A description of the equipment nec-

essary to perform the evaluation for initial
qualification and the continuing qualifica-
tion evaluations.

this section, must provide the documented
proof of compliance with the simulator ob-
jective tests in Attachment 2, Table C2A of
this appendix.

d. The QTG is prepared and submitted by

the sponsor, or the sponsor’s agent on behalf
of the sponsor, to the NSPM for review and
approval, and must include, for each objec-
tive test:

(1) Parameters, tolerances, and flight con-

ditions.

(2) Pertinent and complete instructions for

the conduct of automatic and manual tests.

(3) A means of comparing the FFS test re-

sults to the objective data.

(4) Any other information as necessary, to

fication evaluations must be conducted and
any subsequent changes that may be deter-
mined by the NSPM in accordance with
§ 60.19. See Attachment 4 of this appendix,
Figure C4G, for a sample Continuing Quali-
fication Evaluation Requirements page.

(3) An FFS information page that provides

Attachment 4, Figure C4B, of this appendix
for a sample FFS information page). For
convertible FFSs, the sponsor must submit a
separate page for each configuration of the
FFS.

ber or code.

(b) The helicopter model and series being

simulated.

or reference.

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.

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, Table C2A, as applicable to
the qualification 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 FFS objective

test results.

(g) List of all relevant parameters driven

or constrained during the automatically con-
ducted test(s).
