Notes 

2.d. ...........

The simulator must provide for manual and 

automatic testing of simulator hardware and 
software programming to determine compli-
ance with simulator objective tests as pre-
scribed in Attachment 2 of this appendix.

An SOC is required 

This may include an automated system, which 

could be used for conducting at least a por-
tion of the QTG tests. Automatic ‘‘flagging’’ 
of out-of-tolerance situations is encouraged. 

2.e. ...........

The relative responses of the motion system, 

visual system, and flight deck instruments 
must be measured by latency tests or trans-
port delay tests. Motion onset must occur 
before the end of the scan of that video 
field. Instrument response may not occur 
prior to motion onset. Test results must be 
within the following limits: 

The intent is to verify that the simulator pro-

vides instrument, motion, and visual cues 
that are like the helicopter responses within 
the stated time delays. It is preferable mo-
tion onset occur before the start of the vis-
ual scene change (the start of the scan of 
the first video field containing different infor-
mation). For helicopter response, accelera-
tion in the appropriate corresponding rota-
tional axis is preferred. 

2.e.1. ........

Response must be within 150 milliseconds of 

the helicopter response.

2.e.2. ........

Response must be within 100 milliseconds of 

the helicopter response.

2.f. ............

The simulator must simulate brake and tire 

failure dynamics (including antiskid failure, if 
appropriate).

An SOC is required. ..........................................

The simulator should represent the motion (in 

the appropriate axes) and the directional 
control characteristics of the helicopter when 
experiencing simulated brake or tire failures. 

2.g. ...........

The aerodynamic modeling in the simulator 

must include:.

(1) Ground effect, 
(2) Effects of airframe and rotor icing (if appli-

cable), 

(3) Aerodynamic interference effects between 

the rotor wake and fuselage, 

(4) Influence of the rotor on control and sta-

bilization systems, 

(5) Representations of settling with power, and 
(6) Retreating blade stall. 
An SOC is required. 

See Attachment 2 of this appendix for further 

information on ground effect. 

2.h. ...........

The simulator must provide for realistic mass 

properties, including gross weight, center of 
gravity, and moments of inertia as a function 
of payload and fuel loading.

An SOC is required.

Equipment Operation 

3.a. ...........

All relevant instrument indications involved in 

the simulation of the helicopter must auto-
matically respond to control movement or 
external disturbances to the simulated heli-
copter; e.g., turbulence or windshear. Nu-
merical values must be presented in the ap-
propriate units.

X X X 

3.b. ...........

Communications, navigation, caution, and 

warning equipment must be installed and 
operate within the tolerances applicable for 
the helicopter being simulated.

See Attachment 3 of this appendix for further 

information regarding long-range navigation 
equipment. 

3.c. ...........

Simulated helicopter systems must operate as 

the helicopter systems operate under nor-
mal, abnormal, and emergency operating 
conditions on the ground and in flight.
