Pt. 60, App. D

(a) Static test - Slowly move the control so
that a full sweep is achieved within 95-105
seconds. A full sweep is defined as movement
of the controller from neutral to the stop,
usually aft or right stop, then to the opposite stop, then to the neutral position.
(b) Slow dynamic test - Achieve a full
sweep within 8-12 seconds.
(c) Fast dynamic test - Achieve a full
sweep within 3-5 seconds.
NOTE: Dynamic sweeps may be limited to
forces not exceeding 100 lbs. (44.5 daN).
(d) Tolerances.
(i) Static test; see Table D2A, Flight Training Device (FTD) Objective Tests, Entries
2.a.1., 2.a.2., and 2.a.3.
(ii) Dynamic test - Section2 lbs (0.9 daN) or Section10%
on dynamic increment above static test.

BEGIN INFORMATION
d. The FAA is open to alternative means
that are justified and appropriate to the application. For example, the method described
here may not apply to all manufacturers-
systems and certainly not to aircraft with
reversible control systems. Each case is considered on its own merit on an ad hoc basis.
If the FAA finds that alternative methods do
not result in satisfactory performance, more
conventionally accepted methods will have
to be used.

BEGIN QPS REQUIREMENTS
1. REQUIREMENTS
a. Except for special use airport models, all
airport models required by this part must be
representations of real-world, operational
airports or representations of fictional airports and must meet the requirements set
out in Tables D3B or D3C of this attachment,
as appropriate.
b. If fictional airports are used, the sponsor
must ensure that navigational aids and all
appropriate maps, charts, and other navigational reference material for the fictional
airports (and surrounding areas as necessary) are compatible, complete, and accurate with respect to the visual presentation
and the airport model of this fictional airport. An SOC must be submitted that addresses navigation aid installation and performance and other criteria (including obstruction clearance protection) for all instrument approaches to the fictional airports that are available in the simulator.
The SOC must reference and account for information in the terminal instrument procedures manual and the construction and
availability of the required maps, charts, and
other navigational material. This material
must be clearly marked  - for training purposes only. - 
c. When the simulator is being used by an
instructor or evaluator for purposes of training, checking, or testing under this chapter,
only airport models classified as Class I,
Class II, or Class III may be used by the instructor or evaluator. Detailed descriptions/
definitions of these classifications are found
in Appendix F of this part.
d. When a person sponsors an FTD maintained by a person other than a U.S. certificate holder, the sponsor is accountable for
that FTD originally meeting, and continuing
to meet, the criteria under which it was
originally qualified and the appropriate Part
60 criteria, including the visual scenes and
airport models that may be used by instructors or evaluators for purposes of training,
checking, or testing under this chapter.
e. Neither Class II nor Class III airport visual models are required to appear on the
SOQ, and the method used for keeping instructors and evaluators apprised of the airport models that meet Class II or Class III
requirements on any given simulator is at
the option of the sponsor, but the method
used must be available for review by the
TPAA.
f. When an airport model represents a real
world airport and a permanent change is
made to that real world airport (e.g., a new
runway, an extended taxiway, a new lighting
system, a runway closure) without a written
extension grant from the NSPM (described in
paragraph 1.g., of this section), an update to
that airport model must be made in accordance with the following time limits:
