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 recognition 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 representation 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 capability 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 distance markings, runway edge markings, and runway centerline stripes.

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

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.

5.f. ............

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 displayed runway surface and lighting where applicable.

6. ..............

Correlation with helicopter and associated equipment
The following are the minimum correlation comparisons that must be made for simulators at Level B, Level C, and
Level D

6.a. ...........

Visual system compatibility with aerodynamic programming .................................................................
