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 location. Following this numbering format provides a degree of commonality between the
two tables and substantially reduces the potential for confusion when referring to objective test numbers for either FFSs or FTDs.
c. The reader is encouraged to review the
Airplane Flight Simulator Evaluation Handbook, 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 Airplanes, 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 objective data, the wind vector should be clearly noted as part of the data presentation, expressed in conventional terminology, and related to the runway being used for the test.

2. TEST REQUIREMENTS
a. The ground and flight tests required for
qualification are listed in Table A2A, FFS
Objective Tests. Computer generated simulator test results must be provided for each
test except where an alternative test is specifically authorized by the NSPM. If a flight
condition or operating condition is required
for the test but does not apply to the airplane being simulated or to the qualification
level sought, it may be disregarded (e.g., an
engine out missed approach for a single-engine 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
Section 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 device acceptable to the NSPM and must include simulator number, date, time, conditions, tolerances, and appropriate dependent
variables portrayed in comparison to the validation data. Time histories are required unless otherwise indicated in Table A2A. All results must be labeled using the tolerances
and units given.
b. Table A2A in this attachment sets out
the test results required, including the parameters, tolerances, and flight conditions

1. INTRODUCTION
a. For the purposes of this attachment, the
flight conditions specified in the Flight Conditions Column of Table A2A of this appendix, are defined as follows:
(1) Ground - on ground, independent of airplane 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 recommended 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. However, each test required for FFSs is not necessarily required for FTDs. Also, each test
