Federal Aviation Administration, DOT

Pt. 60, App. D

(ii) Used by another FAA certificate holder
in that other certificate holder-s FAA-approved flight training program for the helicopter simulated (as described in Section 60.7(d)(1)).
This 12-month period is established in the
same manner as in example one; or
(iii) Provided a statement each year from a
qualified pilot, (after having flown the helicopter not the subject FTD or another FTD,
during the preceding 12-month period) stating that the subject FTD-s performance and
handling qualities represent the helicopter
(as described in Section 60.7(d)(2)). This statement is
provided at least once in each 12-month period established in the same manner as in example one.
(b) There is no minimum number of hours
of FTD use required.
(3) Example Three.
(a) A sponsor in New York (in this example, a Part 142 certificate holder) establishes
 - satellite -  training centers in Chicago and
Moscow.
(b) The satellite function means that the
Chicago and Moscow centers must operate
under the New York center-s certificate (in
accordance with all of the New York center-s
practices, procedures, and policies; e.g., instructor and/or technician training/checking
requirements, record keeping, QMS program).
(c) All of the FTDs in the Chicago and Moscow centers could be dry-leased (i.e., the certificate holder does not have and use FAAapproved flight training programs for the
FTDs in the Chicago and Moscow centers)
because - 
(i) Each FTD in the Chicago center and
each FTD in the Moscow center is used at
least once each 12-month period by another
FAA certificate holder in that other certificate holder-s FAA-approved flight training
program for the helicopter (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(1)); or
(ii) A statement is obtained from a qualified pilot (having flown the helicopter, not
the subject FTD or another FTD during the
preceding 12-month period) stating that the
performance and handling qualities of each
FTD in the Chicago and Moscow centers represents the helicopter (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(2)).

9. FTD OBJECTIVE DATA REQUIREMENTS
(Section 60.13)
lllllllllllllllllllllll
BEGIN QPS REQUIREMENTS
a. Flight test data used to validate FTD
performance and handling qualities must
have been gathered in accordance with a
flight test program containing the following:
(1) A flight test plan consisting of:
(a) The maneuvers and procedures required
for aircraft certification and simulation programming and validation.
(b) For each maneuver or procedure - 
(i) The procedures and control input the
flight test pilot and/or engineer used.
(ii) The atmospheric and environmental
conditions.
(iii) The initial flight conditions.
(iv) The helicopter configuration, including weight and center of gravity.
(v) The data to be gathered.
(vi) All other information necessary to
recreate the flight test conditions in the
FTD.
(2) Appropriately qualified flight test personnel.
(3) Appropriate and sufficient data acquisition equipment or system(s), including appropriate data reduction and analysis methods and techniques, acceptable to the FAA-s
Aircraft Certification Service.
b. The data, regardless of source, must be
presented:
(1) In a format that supports the FTD validation process;
(2) In a manner that is clearly readable and
annotated correctly and completely;
(3) With resolution sufficient to determine
compliance with the tolerances set forth in
Attachment 2, Table D2A Appendix D;
(4) With any necessary guidance information provided; and
(5) Without alteration, adjustments, or
bias. Data may be corrected to address
known data calibration errors provided that
an explanation of the methods used to correct the errors appears in the QTG. The corrected data may be re-scaled, digitized, or
otherwise manipulated to fit the desired
presentation
