Pt. 60, App. D

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

(1) For a new airport runway, a runway extension, a new airport taxiway, a taxiway extension, or a runway/taxiway closure - within 90 days of the opening for use of the new
airport runway, runway extension, new airport taxiway, or taxiway extension; or within 90 days of the closure of the runway or
taxiway.
(2) For a new or modified approach light
system - within 45 days of the activation of
the new or modified approach light system.
(3) For other facility or structural changes
on the airport (e.g., new terminal, relocation
of Air Traffic Control Tower) - within 180
days of the opening of the new or changed facility or structure.
g. If a sponsor desires an extension to the
time limit for an update to a visual scene or
airport model or has an objection to what
must be updated in the specific airport
model requirement, the sponsor must provide a written extension request to the
NPSM stating the reason for the update
delay and a proposed completion date or provide an explanation for the objection, explaining why the identified airport change
will not have an impact on flight training,
testing, or checking. A copy of this request
or objection must also be sent to the POI/
TCPM. The NSPM will send the official response to the sponsor and a copy to the POI/
TCPM; however, if there is an objection,
after consultation with the appropriate POI/
TCPM regarding the training, testing, or
checking impact, the NSPM will send the official response to the sponsor and a copy to
the POI/TCPM.
h. Examples of situations that may warrant ClasslIII model designation by the
TPAA include the following:
(a) Training, testing, or checking on very
low visibility operations, including SMGCS
operations.
(b) Instrument operations training (including instrument takeoff, departure, arrival,
approach, and missed approach training,
testing, or checking) using - 
(i) A specific model that has been geographically  - moved -  to a different location
and aligned with an instrument procedure
for another airport.
(ii) A model that does not match changes
made at the real-world airport (or landing
area for helicopters) being modeled.
(iii) A model generated with an  - off-board - 
or an  - on-board -  model development tool
(by providing proper latitude/longitude reference; correct runway or landing area orientation, length, width, marking, and lighting information; and appropriate adjacent
taxiway location) to generate a facsimile of
a real world airport or landing area.
These airport models may be accepted by
the TPAA without individual observation
provided the sponsor provides the TPAA
with an acceptable description of the process
for determining the acceptability of a spe-

cific airport model, outlines the conditions
under which such an airport model may be
used, and adequately describes what restrictions will be applied to each resulting airport or landing area model.

BEGIN INFORMATION
2. DISCUSSION
a. The subjective tests and the examination of functions provide a basis for evaluating the capability of the FTD to perform
over a typical utilization period; determining that the FTD satisfactorily meets
the appropriate training/testing/checking objectives and competently simulates each required maneuver, procedure, or task; and
verifying correct operation of the FTD controls, instruments, and systems. The items
in the list of operations tasks are for FTD
evaluation purposes only. They must not be
used to limit or exceed the authorizations
for use of a given level of FTD as found in
the Practical Test Standards or as approved
by the TPAA. All items in the following
paragraphs are subject to an examination of
function.
b. The List of Operations Tasks in Table
D3A addressing pilot functions and maneuvers is divided by flight phases. All simulated helicopter systems functions will be assessed for normal and, where appropriate, alternate operations. Normal, abnormal, and
emergency operations associated with a
flight phase will be assessed during the evaluation of maneuvers or events within that
flight phase.
c. Systems to be evaluated are listed separately under  - Any Flight Phase -  to ensure
appropriate attention to systems checks.
Operational navigation systems (including
inertial navigation systems, global positioning systems, or other long-range systems) and the associated electronic display
systems will be evaluated if installed. The
NSP pilot will include in his report to the
TPAA, the effect of the system operation
and any system limitation.
d. At the request of the TPAA, the NSP
Pilot may assess the FTD for a special aspect of a sponsor-s training program during
the functions and subjective portion of an
evaluation. Such an assessment may include
a portion of a specific operation (e.g., a Line
Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) scenario)
or special emphasis items in the sponsor-s
training program. Unless directly related to
a requirement for the qualification level, the
results of such an evaluation would not necessarily affect the qualification of the FTD.
e. The FAA intends to allow the use of
Class III airport models on a limited basis
when the sponsor provides the TPAA (or
other regulatory authority) an appropriate
