5. Motion System
5.a. ............
A motion system may be installed in an FTD.
If installed, the motion system operation
must not be distracting. If a motion system
is installed and additional training, testing,
or checking credits are being sought, sen-
sory cues must also be integrated. The mo-
tion system must respond to abrupt input at
the pilot’s position within the allotted time,
but not before the time when the helicopter
responds under the same conditions. The
motion system must be measured by la-
tency tests or transport delay tests and may
not exceed 150 milliseconds. Instrument re-
sponse must not occur prior to motion
onset
X X X X
5.b. ............
The FTD must have at least a vibration cue-
ing system for characteristic helicopter vi-
brations noted at the pilot station(s)
X May be accomplished by a ‘‘seat shaker’’ or a
bass speaker sufficient to provide the nec-
essary cueing.
6. Visual System

sired, although it is not required. If a visual
system is installed, it must meet the fol-
lowing criteria:

input at the pilot’s position.
