Notes

1.a. ...........

The simulator must have a flight deck that is a
replica of the helicopter being simulated.
The simulator must have controls, equipment,
observable flight deck indicators, circuit
breakers, and bulkheads properly located,
functionally accurate and replicating the helicopter. The direction of movement of controls and switches must be identical to that
in the helicopter. Pilot seats must afford the
capability for the occupant to be able to
achieve the design  - eye position -  established for the helicopter being simulated.
Equipment for the operation of the flight
deck windows must be included, but the actual windows need not be operable. Fire
axes, extinguishers, and spare light bulbs
must be available in the FFS but may be relocated to a suitable location as near as
practical to the original position. Fire axes,
landing gear pins, and any similar purpose
instruments need only be represented in silhouette.

For simulator purposes, the flight deck consists of all that space forward of a cross
section of the fuselage at the most extreme
aft setting of the pilots- seats including additional, required flight crewmember duty stations and those required bulkheads aft of
the pilot seats. For clarification, bulkheads
containing only items such as landing gear
pin storage compartments, fire axes and extinguishers, spare light bulbs, and aircraft
documents pouches are not considered essential and may be omitted.

1.b. ...........

Those circuit breakers that affect procedures
or result in observable flight deck indications
must be properly located and functionally
accurate.

Programming

2.a. ...........

A flight dynamics model that accounts for various combinations of air speed and power
normally encountered in flight must correspond to actual flight conditions, including
the effect of change in helicopter attitude,
aerodynamic and propulsive forces and moments, altitude, temperature, mass, center
of gravity location, and configuration.
An SOC is required

2.b. ...........

The simulator must have the computer capacity, accuracy, resolution, and dynamic response needed to meet the qualification
level sought.
An SOC is required

2.c. ...........

Ground handling (where appropriate) and aerodynamic programming must include the following:.

2.c.1. ........

Ground effect ....................................................
Level B does not require hover programming
An SOC is required

Applicable areas include flare and touch down
from a running landing as well as for inground-effect (IGE) hover. A reasonable
simulation of ground effect includes modeling of lift, drag, pitching moment, trim, and
power while in ground effect.

2.c.2. ........

Ground reaction ................................................
Level B does not require hover programming
An SOC is required

Reaction of the helicopter upon contact with
the landing surface during landing (e.g.,
strut deflection, tire or skid friction, side
forces) may differ with changes in gross
weight, airspeed, rate of descent on touchdown, and slide slip.
