NTRODUCTION

 

a. For the purposes of this attachment, the 

flight conditions specified in the Flight Con-
ditions Column of Table A2A of this appen-
dix, are defined as follows: 

(1) Ground—on ground, independent of air-

plane configuration; 

(2) Take-off—gear down with flaps/slats in 

any certified takeoff position; 

(3) First segment climb—gear down with 

flaps/slats in any certified takeoff position 
(normally not above 50 ft AGL); 

(4) Second segment climb—gear up with 

flaps/slats in any certified takeoff position 
(normally between 50 ft and 400 ft AGL); 

(5) Clean—flaps/slats retracted and gear up; 
(6) Cruise—clean configuration at cruise 

altitude and airspeed; 

(7) Approach—gear up or down with flaps/ 

slats at any normal approach position as rec-
ommended by the airplane manufacturer; 
and 

(8) Landing—gear down with flaps/slats in 

any certified landing position. 

b. The format for numbering the objective 

tests in Appendix A, Attachment 2, Table 
A2A, and the objective tests in Appendix B, 
Attachment 2, Table B2A, is identical. How-
ever, each test required for FFSs is not nec-
essarily required for FTDs. Also, each test 

required for FTDs is not necessarily required 
for FFSs. Therefore, when a test number (or 
series of numbers) is not required, the term 
‘‘Reserved’’ is used in the table at that loca-
tion. Following this numbering format pro-
vides a degree of commonality between the 
two tables and substantially reduces the po-
tential for confusion when referring to objec-
tive test numbers for either FFSs or FTDs. 

c. The reader is encouraged to review the 

Airplane Flight Simulator Evaluation Hand-
book, Volumes I and II, published by the 
Royal Aeronautical Society, London, UK, 
and AC 25–7, as amended, Flight Test Guide 
for Certification of Transport Category Air-
planes, and AC 23–8, as amended, Flight Test 
Guide for Certification of Part 23 Airplanes, 
for references and examples regarding flight 
testing requirements and techniques. 

d. If relevant winds are present in the ob-

jective data, the wind vector should be clear-
ly noted as part of the data presentation, ex-
pressed in conventional terminology, and re-
lated to the runway being used for the test.

a. The ground and flight tests required for 

qualification are listed in Table A2A, FFS 
Objective Tests. Computer generated simu-
lator test results must be provided for each 
test except where an alternative test is spe-
cifically authorized by the NSPM. If a flight 
condition or operating condition is required 
for the test but does not apply to the air-
plane being simulated or to the qualification 
level sought, it may be disregarded (e.g., an 
engine out missed approach for a single-en-
gine airplane or a maneuver using reverse 
thrust for an airplane without reverse thrust 
capability). Each test result is compared 
against the validation data described in 
§ 60.13 and in this appendix. Although use of 
a driver program designed to automatically 
accomplish the tests is encouraged for all 
simulators and required for Level C and 
Level D simulators, it must be possible to 
conduct each test manually while recording 
all appropriate parameters. The results must 
be produced on an appropriate recording de-
vice acceptable to the NSPM and must in-
clude simulator number, date, time, condi-
tions, tolerances, and appropriate dependent 
variables portrayed in comparison to the val-
idation data. Time histories are required un-
less otherwise indicated in Table A2A. All re-
sults must be labeled using the tolerances 
and units given. 

b. Table A2A in this attachment sets out 

the test results required, including the pa-
rameters, tolerances, and flight conditions
