Visual requirements for qualification at the stated level 

class I airport or landing area models 

Simulator 

level 

B C D 

The following prescribes the minimum requirements for an airport/helicopter landing area model and identifies other 
aspects of the environment that must correspond with that model for simulators at Level B, Level C, and Level D. 
For circling approaches, all tests apply to the runway used for the initial approach and to the runway of intended 
landing. If all runways or landing areas in a visual model used to meet the requirements of this attachment are not 
designated as ‘‘in use,’’ then the ‘‘in use’’ runways/landing areas must be listed on the SOQ (e.g., KORD, Rwys 
9R, 14L, 22R). Models of airports or helicopter landing areas with more than one runway or landing area must 
have all significant runways or landing areas not ‘‘in-use’’ visually depicted for airport runway/landing area recogni-
tion purposes. The use of white or off-white light strings that identify the runway or landing area for twilight and 
night scenes are acceptable for this requirement; and rectangular surface depictions are acceptable for daylight 
scenes. A visual system’s capabilities must be balanced between providing visual models with an accurate rep-
resentation of the airport and a realistic representation of the surrounding environment. Each runway or helicopter 
landing area designated as an ‘‘in-use’’ runway or area must include the following detail that is developed using 
airport pictures, construction drawings and maps, or other similar data, or developed in accordance with published 
regulatory material; however, this does not require that such models contain details that are beyond the design ca-
pability of the currently qualified visual system. Only one ‘‘primary’’ taxi route from parking to the runway end or 
helicopter takeoff/landing area will be required for each ‘‘in-use’’ runway or helicopter takeoff/landing area. 

5.a. ...........

The surface and markings for each ‘‘in-use’’ runway or helicopter landing area must include the following: 

5.a.1. ........

For airports: Runway threshold markings, runway numbers, touchdown zone markings, fixed dis-

tance markings, runway edge markings, and runway centerline stripes.

5.a.2. ........

For helicopter landing areas: Markings for standard heliport identification (‘‘H’’) and TOFL, FATO, 

and safety areas.

5.b. ...........

The lighting for each ‘‘in-use’’ runway or helicopter landing area must include the following: 

5.b.1. ........

For airports: Runway approach, threshold, edge, end, centerline (if applicable), touchdown zone (if 

applicable), leadoff, and visual landing aid lights or light systems for that runway.

5.b.2. ........

For helicopter landing areas: landing direction, raised and flush FATO, TOFL, windsock lighting .......

5.e. ...........

Airport signage associated with each ‘‘in-use’’ runway or helicopter landing area must include the following: 

5.e.1. ........

For airports: Signs for runway distance remaining, intersecting runway with taxiway, and intersecting 

taxiway with taxiway.

Required visual model correlation with other aspects of the airport or helicopter landing environment simulation: 

5.f.1. .........

The airport or helicopter landing area model must be properly aligned with the navigational aids that 

are associated with operations at the ‘‘in-use’’ runway or helicopter landing area.

5.f.2. .........

The simulation of runway or helicopter landing area contaminants must be correlated with the dis-

played runway surface and lighting where applicable.

Correlation with helicopter and associated equipment

Level D
