service period (e.g., periodic exercise of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems;
routine replacement of hydraulic fluid; control 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.

21. RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING (Section 60.31)
lllllllllllllllllllllll
BEGIN QPS REQUIREMENTS
a. FTD modifications can include hardware
or software changes. For FTD modifications
involving software programming changes,
the record required by Section 60.31(a)(2) must consist of the name of the aircraft system software, 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 appropriate security or controls to prevent the inappropriate alteration of such records after
the fact.

24. LEVELS OF FTD

BEGIN INFORMATION
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 system. Air/ground logic is required (no aerodynamic 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 capable of manual manipulation of the flight controls) or may physically replicate the aircraft 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 program with at least one operating system and
control loading representative of the simulated 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 representations of displays in the aircraft. Primary 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, switches, and knobs may be touch sensitive activation.
(3) Level 6. A Level 6 device is one that has
an enclosed helicopter-specific flight deck
and aerodynamic program with all applicable helicopter systems operating and control
loading that is representative of the simulated helicopter throughout its ground and
flight envelope and significant sound representation. All displays may be flat/LCD
panel representations or actual representations of displays in the aircraft, but all controls, 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 applicable helicopter systems operating and control
loading that is representative of the simulated helicopter throughout its ground and
flight envelope and significant sound representation. All displays may be flat/LCD
panel representations or actual representations of displays in the aircraft, but all controls, 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 crossflight deck viewing (for both pilots simultaneously) of a field-of-view of at least 146Section
horizontally and 36Section vertically as well as a
vibration cueing system for characteristic
helicopter vibrations noted at the pilot station(s).
