4.b.2. ..........

Continuous field-of-view. 

The simulator must provide a 

continuous field-of-view of 
at least 146

° 

horizontally 

and 36

° 

vertically or the 

number of degrees nec-
essary to meet the visual 
ground segment require-
ment, whichever is greater. 
The minimum horizontal 
field-of-view coverage must 
be plus and minus one-half 
(

1

⁄

2

) of the minimum contin-

uous field-of-view require-
ment, centered on the zero 
degree azimuth line relative 
to the aircraft fuselage. Any 
geometric error between 
the Image Generator eye 
point and the pilot eye 
point must be 8

° 

or less. 

N/A .........................................

An SOC is required and must 

explain the geometry of the 
installation. 

Horizontal field-of-view of at 

least 146

° 

(including not 

less than 73

° 

measured ei-

ther side of the center of 
the design eye point). Addi-
tional horizontal field-of- 
view capability may be 
added at the sponsor’s dis-
cretion provided the min-
imum field-of-view is re-
tained. 

Vertical field-of-view of at 

least 36

° 

measured from 

the pilot’s and co-pilot’s 
eye point. 

X 

Horizontal field-of-view is 

centered on the zero de-
gree azimuth line relative 
to the aircraft fuselage. 
Field-of-view may be 
measured using a visual 
test pattern filling the entire 
visual scene (all channels) 
with a matrix of black and 
white 5

° 

squares. 

4.b.3. ..........

Continuous field-of-view. 

Continuous field-of-view of at 

least 176

° 

horizontal and 

56

° 

vertical field-of-view for 

each pilot simultaneously. 
Any geometric error be-
tween the Image Generator 
eye point and the pilot eye 
point must be 8

° 

or less. 

N/A .........................................

An SOC is required and must 

explain the geometry of the 
installation. 

Horizontal field-of-view is 

centered on the zero de-
gree azimuth line relative 
to the aircraft fuselage. 
Horizontal field-of-view 
must be at least 176

° 

(in-

cluding not less than 88

° 

either side of the center of 
the design eye point). Addi-
tional horizontal field-of- 
view capability may be 
added at the sponsor’s dis-
cretion provided the min-
imum field-of-view is re-
tained. 

Vertical field-of-view must not 

be less than a total of 56

° 

measured from the pilot’s 
and co-pilot’s eye point.

X  The horizontal field-of-view is 

traditionally described as a 
180

° 

field-of-view. How-

ever, the field-of-view is 
technically no less than 
176

°

. Field-of-view may be 

measured using a visual 
test pattern filling the entire 
visual scene (all channels) 
with a matrix of black and 
white 5

° 

squares.
