BEGIN QPS REQUIREMENTS
a. In order to be qualified at a particular
qualification level, the FFS must:
(1) Meet the general requirements listed in
Attachment 1 of this appendix;
(2) Meet the objective testing requirements
listed in Attachment 2 of this appendix; and
(3) Satisfactorily accomplish the subjective tests listed in Attachment 3 of this appendix.
b. The request described in Section 60.15(a) must
include all of the following:
(1) A statement that the FFS meets all of
the applicable provisions of this part and all
applicable provisions of the QPS.
(2) A confirmation that the sponsor will
forward to the NSPM the statement described in Section 60.15(b) in such time as to be received no later than 5 business days prior to
the scheduled evaluation and may be forwarded to the NSPM via traditional or electronic means.
(3) A QTG, acceptable to the NSPM, that
includes all of the following:
(a) Objective data obtained from aircraft
testing or another approved source.
(b) Correlating objective test results obtained from the performance of the FFS as
prescribed in the appropriate QPS.
(c) The result of FFS subjective tests prescribed in the appropriate QPS.
(d) A description of the equipment necessary to perform the evaluation for initial
qualification and the continuing qualification evaluations.
c. The QTG described in paragraph (a)(3) of
this section, must provide the documented
proof of compliance with the simulator objective 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 objective test:
(1) Parameters, tolerances, and flight conditions.
(2) Pertinent and complete instructions for
the conduct of automatic and manual tests.
(3) A means of comparing the FFS test results to the objective data.
(4) Any other information as necessary, to
assist in the evaluation of the test results.
(5) Other information appropriate to the
qualification level of the FFS.
e. The QTG described in paragraphs (a)(3)
and (b) of this section, must include the following:
(1) A QTG cover page with sponsor and
FAA approval signature blocks (see Attachment 4, Figure C4C, of this appendix, for a
sample QTG cover page).
(2) A continuing qualification evaluation
schedule requirements page. This page will
be used by the NSPM to establish and record
the frequency with which continuing quali-

fication evaluations must be conducted and
any subsequent changes that may be determined by the NSPM in accordance with
Section 60.19. See Attachment 4 of this appendix,
Figure C4G, for a sample Continuing Qualification Evaluation Requirements page.
(3) An FFS information page that provides
the information listed in this paragraph (see
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.
(a) The sponsor-s FFS identification number or code.
(b) The helicopter model and series being
simulated.
(c) The aerodynamic data revision number
or reference.
(d) The source of the basic aerodynamic
model and the aerodynamic coefficient data
used to modify the basic model.
(e) The engine model(s) and its data revision number or reference.
(f) The flight control data revision number
or reference.
(g) The flight management system identification and revision level.
(h) The FFS model and manufacturer.
(i) The date of FFS manufacture.
(j) The FFS computer identification.
(k) The visual system model and manufacturer, including display type.
(l) The motion system type and manufacturer, including degrees of freedom.
(4) A Table of Contents.
(5) A log of revisions and a list of effective
pages.
(6) List of all relevant data references.
(7) A glossary of terms and symbols used
(including sign conventions and units).
(8) Statements of compliance and capability (SOCs) with certain requirements.
(9) Recording procedures or equipment required to accomplish the objective tests.
(10) The following information for each objective 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 applicable).
(f) Method for evaluating FFS objective
test results.
(g) List of all relevant parameters driven
or constrained during the automatically conducted test(s).
(h) List of all relevant parameters driven
or constrained during the manually conducted test(s).
(i) Tolerances for relevant parameters.
(j) Source of Validation Data (document
and page number).
