General FTD requirements

Notes

1.a. ............

The FTD must have a flight deck that is a
replica of the helicopter, or set of helicopters simulated with controls, equipment,
observable flight deck indicators, circuit
breakers, and bulkheads properly located,
functionally accurate and replicating the
helicopter or set of helicopters. The direction of movement of controls and switches
must be identical to that in the helicopter or
set of helicopters. Crewmember seats must
afford the capability for the occupant to be
able to achieve the design  - eye position. - 
Equipment for the operation of the flight
deck windows must be included, but the actual windows need not be operable. Those
circuit breakers that affect procedures or result in observable flight deck indications
must be properly located and functionally
accurate. Fire axes, extinguishers, landing
gear pins, and spare light bulbs must be
available, and may be represented in silhouette, in the flight simulator. This equipment must be present as near as practical
to the original position

1.b. ............

The FTD must have equipment (i.e., instruments, panels, systems, circuit breakers,
and controls) simulated sufficiently for the
authorized training/checking events to be
accomplished. The installed equipment,
must be located in a spatially correct configuration, and may be in a flight deck or an
open flight deck area. Those circuit breakers that affect procedures or result in observable flight deck indications must be
properly located and functionally accurate.
Additional equipment required for the authorized training and checking events must
be available in the FTD but may be located
in a suitable location as near as practical to
the spatially correct position. Actuation of
this equipment must replicate the appropriate function in the helicopter. Fire axes,
landing gear pins, and any similar purpose
instruments need only be represented in silhouette

For FTD purposes, the flight deck consists of
all that space forward of a cross section of
the flight deck at the most extreme aft setting of the pilots- seats including additional,
required crewmember duty stations and
those required bulkheads aft of the pilot
seats. Bulkheads containing only items
such as landing gear pin storage compartments, fire axes and extinguishers, spare
light bulbs, and aircraft documents pouches
are not considered essential and may be
omitted. If omitted, these items, or the silhouettes of these items, may be placed on
the wall of the simulator, or in any other location as near as practical to the original
position of these items.

2. Programming.
2.a. ............

The FTD must provide the proper effect of
aerodynamic changes for the combinations
of drag and thrust normally encountered in
flight. This must include the effect of
change in helicopter attitude, thrust, drag,
altitude, temperature, and configuration.
Levels 6 and 7 additionally require the effects of changes in gross weight and center
of gravity.Level 5 requires only generic aerodynamic programming.
An SOC is required .........................................

2.b. ............

The FTD must have the computer (analog or
digital) capability (i.e., capacity, accuracy,
resolution, and dynamic response) needed
to meet the qualification level sought.
An SOC is required .........................................
