2.e. ...........

Airport applications. Each airport must have the following:

2.e.1. ........

At least one runway designated as  - in-use - , appropriately marked and capable of being lighted fully

2.e.2. ........

Runway threshold elevations and locations must be modeled to provide sufficient correlation with
helicopter systems (e.g., HGS, GPS, altimeter). Slopes in runways, taxiways, and ramp areas, if
depicted in the visual scene, may not cause distracting or unrealistic effects, including pilot eyepoint height variation.

2.e.3. ........

Appropriate approach lighting systems and airfield lighting for a VFR circuit and landing, non-precision approaches and landings, and precision approaches and landings, as appropriate..

2.e.4. ........

Representative taxiway lights .................................................................................................................

3. ..............

Airport or landing area model management
The following is the minimum visual scene management requirements

3.a. ...........

Runway and helicopter landing area approach lighting must fade into view in accordance with the
environmental conditions set in the simulator.

X

3.b. ...........

The direction of strobe lights, approach lights, runway edge lights, visual landing aids, runway centerline lights, threshold lights, touchdown zone lights, and TLOF or FATO lights must be replicated.

4. ..............

Visual feature recognition.
The following are the minimum distances at which runway features must be visible. Distances are measured from
runway threshold or a helicopter landing area to a helicopter aligned with the runway or helicopter landing area on
an extended 3Section glide-slope in simulated meteorological conditions. For circling approaches, all tests apply to the
runway used for the initial approach and to the runway of intended landing

4.a. ...........

For runways: Runway definition, strobe lights, approach lights, and runway edge lights from 5 sm (8
km) of the runway threshold.

4.f. ............

For runways and helicopter landing areas: Markings within range of landing lights for night/twilight
scenes and the surface resolution test on daylight scenes, as required.

4.g. ...........

For circling approaches, the runway of intended landing and associated lighting must fade into view
in a non-distracting manner.
