An example of being able to ‘‘combine two airport models to achieve two ‘‘in-use’’ runways: One runway des-
ignated as the ‘‘in-use’’ runway in the first model of the airport, and the second runway designated as the ‘‘in-use’’ 
runway in the second model of the same airport. For example, the clearance is for the ILS approach to Runway 
27, Circle to Land on Runway 18 right. Two airport visual models might be used: the first with Runway 27 des-
ignated as the ‘‘in use’’ runway for the approach to runway 27, and the second with Runway 18 Right designated 
as the ‘‘in use’’ runway. When the pilot breaks off the ILS approach to runway 27, the instructor may change to the 
second airport visual model in which runway 18 Right is designated as the ‘‘in use’’ runway, and the pilot would 
make a visual approach and landing. This process is acceptable to the FAA as long as the temporary interruption 
due to the visual model change is not distracting to the pilot.

Sponsors are not required to provide every detail of a runway, but the detail that is provided should be correct

This table specifies the minimum airport or helicopter landing area visual model content and functionality necessary to add vis-

ual models to a simulator’s visual model library (i.e., beyond those necessary for qualification at the stated level) without the 
necessity of further involvement of the NSPM or TPAA.

Airport or landing area model management 

The following is the minimum visual scene management requirements for simulators at Levels B, C, and D. 

1.a. ...........

The installation and direction of the following lights must be replicated for the ‘‘in-use’’ surface: 

1.a.1. ........

For ‘‘in-use’’ runways: Strobe lights, approach lights, runway edge lights, visual landing aids, runway 

centerline lights, threshold lights, and touchdown zone lights.

1.a.2. ........

For ‘‘in-use’’ helicopter landing areas: ground level TLOF perimeter lights, elevated TLOF perimeter 

lights (if applicable), Optional TLOF lights (if applicable), ground FATO perimeter lights, elevated 
TLOF lights (if applicable), landing direction lights.

Visual feature recognition 

The following are the minimum distances at which runway or landing area features must be visible for simulators at 
Levels B, C, and D. Distances are measured from runway threshold or a helicopter landing area to an aircraft 
aligned with the runway or helicopter landing area on a 3

° 

glide-slope from the aircraft to the touchdown point, in 

simulated meteorological conditions. For circling approaches, all tests apply to the runway used for the initial ap-
proach and to the runway of intended landing.
