Federal Aviation Administration, DOT

Pt. 60, App. C

(k) Copy of the Validation Data (if located
in a separate binder, a cross reference for the
identification and page number for pertinent
data location must be provided).
(l) Simulator Objective Test Results as obtained by the sponsor. Each test result must
reflect the date completed and must be
clearly labeled as a product of the device
being tested.
f. A convertible FFS is addressed as a separate FFS for each model and series helicopter to which it will be converted and for
the FAA qualification level sought. If a sponsor seeks qualification for two or more models of a helicopter type using a convertible
FFS, the sponsor must submit a QTG for
each helicopter model, or a QTG for the first
helicopter model and a supplement to that
QTG for each additional helicopter model.
The NSPM will conduct evaluations for each
helicopter model.
g. Form and manner of presentation of objective test results in the QTG:
(1) The sponsor-s FFS test results must be
recorded in a manner acceptable to the
NSPM, that allows easy comparison of the
FFS test results to the validation data (e.g.,
use of a multi-channel recorder, line printer,
cross plotting, overlays, transparencies).
(2) FFS results must be labeled using terminology common to helicopter parameters
as opposed to computer software identifications.
(3) Validation data documents included in
a QTG may be photographically reduced only
if such reduction will not alter the graphic
scaling or cause difficulties in scale interpretation or resolution.
(4) Scaling on graphical presentations
must provide the resolution necessary to
evaluate the parameters shown in Attachment 2, Table C2A of this appendix.
(5) Tests involving time histories, data
sheets (or transparencies thereof) and FFS
test results must be clearly marked with appropriate reference points to ensure an accurate comparison between the FFS and the
helicopter with respect to time. Time histories recorded via a line printer are to be
clearly identified for cross plotting on the
helicopter data. Over-plots must not obscure
the reference data.
h. The sponsor may elect to complete the
QTG objective and subjective tests at the
manufacturer-s facility or at the sponsor-s
training facility. If the tests are conducted
at the manufacturer-s facility, the sponsor
must repeat at least one-third of the tests at
the sponsor-s training facility in order to
substantiate FFS performance. The QTG
must be clearly annotated to indicate when
and where each test was accomplished. Tests
conducted at the manufacturer-s facility and
at the sponsor-s training facility must be
conducted after the FFS is assembled with
systems and sub-systems functional and op-

erating in an interactive manner. The test
results must be submitted to the NSPM.
i. The sponsor must maintain a copy of the
MQTG at the FFS location.
j. All FFSs for which the initial qualification is conducted after May 30, 2014, must
have an electronic MQTG (eMQTG) including
all objective data obtained from helicopter
testing, or another approved source (reformatted or digitized), together with correlating objective test results obtained from
the performance of the FFS (reformatted or
digitized) as prescribed in this appendix. The
eMQTG must also contain the general FFS
performance or demonstration results (reformatted or digitized) prescribed in this appendix, and a description of the equipment necessary to perform the initial qualification
evaluation and the continuing qualification
evaluations. The eMQTG must include the
original validation data used to validate
FFS performance and handling qualities in
either the original digitized format from the
data supplier or an electronic scan of the
original time-history plots that were provided by the data supplier. A copy of the
eMQTG must be provided to the NSPM.
k. All other FFSs not covered in subparagraph  - j -  must have an electronic copy of
the MQTG by May 30, 2014. An electronic
copy of the MQTG must be provided to the
NSPM. This may be provided by an electronic scan presented in a Portable Document File (PDF), or similar format acceptable to the NSPM.
l. During the initial (or upgrade) qualification evaluation conducted by the NSPM, the
sponsor must also provide a person who is a
user of the device (e.g., a qualified pilot or
instructor pilot with flight time experience
in that aircraft) and knowledgeable about
the operation of the aircraft and the operation of the FFS.

BEGIN INFORMATION
m. Only those FFSs that are sponsored by
a certificate holder as defined in Appendix F
of this part will be evaluated by the NSPM.
However, other FFS evaluations may be conducted on a case-by-case basis as the Administrator deems appropriate, but only in accordance with applicable agreements.
n. The NSPM will conduct an evaluation
for each configuration, and each FFS must
be evaluated as completely as possible. To
ensure a thorough and uniform evaluation,
each FFS is subjected to the general simulator requirements in Attachment 1 of this
appendix, the objective tests listed in Attachment 2 of this appendix, and the subjective tests listed in Attachment 3 of this appendix. The evaluations described herein will
