service period (e.g., periodic exercise of me-
chanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems; 
routine replacement of hydraulic fluid; con-
trol of the environmental factors in which 
the FTD is to be maintained) there is a 
greater likelihood that the NSPM will be 
able to determine the amount of testing that 
is required for requalification.

a. FTD modifications can include hardware 

or software changes. For FTD modifications 
involving software programming changes, 
the record required by § 60.31(a)(2) must con-
sist of the name of the aircraft system soft-
ware, aerodynamic model, or engine model 
change, the date of the change, a summary 
of the change, and the reason for the change. 

b. If a coded form for record keeping is 

used, it must provide for the preservation 
and retrieval of information with appro-
priate security or controls to prevent the in-
appropriate alteration of such records after 
the fact.

a. The following is a general description of 

each level of FTD. Detailed standards and 
tests for the various levels of FTDs are fully 
defined in Attachments 1 through 3 of this 
appendix. 

(1) Level 4. A Level 4 device is one that 

may have an open helicopter-specific flight 
deck area, or an enclosed helicopter-specific 
flight deck and at least one operating sys-
tem. Air/ground logic is required (no aero-
dynamic programming required). All dis-

plays may be flat/LCD panel representations 
or actual representations of displays in the 
aircraft. All controls, switches, and knobs 
may be touch sensitive activation (not capa-
ble of manual manipulation of the flight con-
trols) or may physically replicate the air-
craft in control operation. 

(2) Level 5. A Level 5 device is one that 

may have an open helicopter-specific flight 
deck area, or an enclosed helicopter-specific 
flight deck and a generic aerodynamic pro-
gram with at least one operating system and 
control loading representative of the simu-
lated helicopter. The control loading need 
only represent the helicopter at an approach 
speed and configuration. All displays may be 
flat/LCD panel representations or actual rep-
resentations of displays in the aircraft. Pri-
mary and secondary flight controls (e.g., 
rudder, aileron, elevator, flaps, spoilers/speed 
brakes, engine controls, landing gear, 
nosewheel steering, trim, brakes) must be 
physical controls. All other controls, switch-
es, and knobs may be touch sensitive activa-
tion. 

(3) Level 6. A Level 6 device is one that has 

an enclosed helicopter-specific flight deck 
and aerodynamic program with all applica-
ble helicopter systems operating and control 
loading that is representative of the simu-
lated helicopter throughout its ground and 
flight envelope and significant sound rep-
resentation. All displays may be flat/LCD 
panel representations or actual representa-
tions of displays in the aircraft, but all con-
trols, switches, and knobs must physically 
replicate the aircraft in control operation. 

(4) Level 7. A Level 7 device is one that has 

an enclosed helicopter-specific flight deck 
and aerodynamic program with all applica-
ble helicopter systems operating and control 
loading that is representative of the simu-
lated helicopter throughout its ground and 
flight envelope and significant sound rep-
resentation. All displays may be flat/LCD 
panel representations or actual representa-
tions of displays in the aircraft, but all con-
trols, switches, and knobs must physically 
replicate the aircraft in control operation. It 
also has a visual system that provides an 
out-of-the-flight deck view, providing cross- 
flight deck viewing (for both pilots simulta-
neously) of a field-of-view of at least 146

° 

horizontally and 36

° 

vertically as well as a 

vibration cueing system for characteristic 
helicopter vibrations noted at the pilot sta-
tion(s).
