14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition)
Pt. 60, App. C
airports (and surrounding areas as nec-
essary) are compatible, complete, and accu-
rate with respect to the visual presentation
and airport model of this fictional airport.
An SOC must be submitted that addresses
navigation aid installation and performance
and other criteria (including obstruction
clearance protection) for all instrument ap-
proaches to the fictional airports that are
available in the simulator. The SOC must
reference and account for information in the
terminal instrument procedures manual and
the construction and availability of the re-
quired maps, charts, and other navigational
material. This material must be clearly
marked ‘‘for training purposes only.’’
c. When the simulator is being used by an
instructor or evaluator for purposes of train-
ing, checking, or testing under this chapter,
only airport models classified as Class I,
Class II, or Class III may be used by the in-
structor or evaluator. Detailed descriptions/
definitions of these classifications are found
in Appendix F of this part.
d. When a person sponsors an FFS main-
tained by a person other than a U.S. certifi-
cate holder, the sponsor is accountable for
that FFS originally meeting, and continuing
to meet, the criteria under which it was
originally qualified and the appropriate Part
60 criteria, including the visual scenes and
airport models that may be used by instruc-
tors or evaluators for purposes of training,
checking, or testing under this chapter.
e. Neither Class II nor Class III airport vis-
ual models are required to appear on the
SOQ, and the method used for keeping in-
structors and evaluators apprised of the air-
port models that meet Class II or Class III
requirements on any given simulator is at
the option of the sponsor, but the method
used must be available for review by the
TPAA.
f. When an airport model represents a real
world airport and a permanent change is
made to that real world airport (e.g., a new
runway, an extended taxiway, a new lighting
system, a runway closure) without a written
extension grant from the NSPM (described in
paragraph 1.g., of this section), an update to
that airport model must be made in accord-
ance with the following time limits:
(1) For a new airport runway, a runway ex-
tension, a new airport taxiway, a taxiway ex-
tension, or a runway/taxiway closure—with-
in 90 days of the opening for use of the new
airport runway, runway extension, new air-
port taxiway, or taxiway extension; or with-
in 90 days of the closure of the runway or
taxiway.
(2) For a new or modified approach light
system—within 45 days of the activation of
the new or modified approach light system.
(3) For other facility or structural changes
on the airport (e.g., new terminal, relocation
of Air Traffic Control Tower)—within 180
days of the opening of the new or changed fa-
cility or structure.
g. If a sponsor desires an extension to the
time limit for an update to a visual scene or
airport model or has an objection to what
must be updated in the specific airport
model requirement, the sponsor must pro-
vide a written extension request to the
NSPM stating the reason for the update
delay and a proposed completion date or pro-
vide an explanation for the objection, ex-
plaining why the identified airport change
will not have an impact on flight training,
testing, or checking. A copy of this request
or objection must also be sent to the POI/
TCPM. The NSPM will send the official re-
sponse to the sponsor and a copy to the POI/
TCPM; however, if there is an objection,
after consultation with the appropriate POI/
TCPM regarding the training, testing, or
checking impact, the NSPM will send the of-
ficial response to the sponsor and a copy to
the POI/TCPM.

ISCUSSION
a. The subjective tests provide a basis for
evaluating the capability of the simulator to
perform over a typical utilization period; de-
termining that the simulator competently
simulates each required maneuver, proce-
dure, or task; and verifying correct oper-
ation of the simulator controls, instruments,
and systems. The items listed in the fol-
lowing Tables are for simulator evaluation
purposes only. They may not be used to limit
or exceed the authorizations for use of a
given level of simulator as described on the
SOQ or as approved by the TPAA. All items
in the following paragraphs are subject to an
examination.
b. The tests in Table C3A, Operations
Tasks, in this attachment address pilot func-
tions, including maneuvers and procedures
(called flight tasks), and are divided by
flight phases. The performance of these tasks
by the NSPM includes an operational exam-
ination of the visual system and special ef-
fects. There are flight tasks included to ad-
dress some features of advanced technology
helicopters and innovative training pro-
grams.
c. The tests in Table C3A, Operations
Tasks, and Table C3G, Instructor Operating
Station, in this attachment address the over-
all function and control of the simulator in-
cluding the various simulated environmental
conditions; simulated helicopter system op-
eration (normal, abnormal, and emergency);
visual system displays; and special effects
necessary to meet flight crew training, eval-
uation, or flight experience requirements.
