EFINITIONS

 

1st Segment

—the portion of the takeoff pro-

file from liftoff to gear retraction. 

2nd Segment

—the portion of the takeoff 

profile from after gear retraction to initial 
flap/slat retraction. 

3rd Segment

—the portion of the takeoff pro-

file after flap/slat retraction is complete. 

Aircraft Data Package

—a combination of 

the various types of data used to design, pro-
gram, manufacture, modify, and test the 
FSTD. 

Airspeed

—calibrated airspeed unless other-

wise specified and expressed in terms of nau-
tical miles per hour (knots). 

Airport Model

— 

Class I. 

Whether modeling real world or fic-

tional airports (or landing areas for heli-
copters), these airport models (or landing 
areas for helicopters) are those that meet 
the requirements of Table A3B or C3B, found 
in attachment 2 of Appendix A or C, as ap-
propriate, are evaluated by the NSPM, and 
are listed on the SOQ. 

Class II. 

Whether modeling real world or 

fictional airports (or landing areas for heli-
copters), these airport models (or landing 
areas for helicopters) are those models that 
are in excess of those used for simulator 
qualification at a specified level. The FSTD 
sponsor is responsible for determining that 
these models meet the requirements set out 
in Table A3C or C3C, found in attachment 2 
of Appendix A or C, as appropriate. 

Class III. 

This is a special class of airport 

model (or landing area for helicopters), used 
for specific purposes, and includes models 
that may be incomplete or inaccurate when 
viewed without restriction, but when appro-
priate limits are applied (e.g., ‘‘valid for use 
only in visibility conditions less than 

1

⁄

2

stat-

ute mile or RVR2400 feet,’’ ‘‘valid for use 
only for approaches to Runway 22L and 
22R’’), those features that may be incomplete 
or inaccurate may not be able to be recog-
nized as such by the crewmember being 
trained, tested, or checked. Class III airport 
models used for training, testing, or check-
ing activities under this Chapter requires the 
certificate holder to submit to the TPAA an 
appropriate analysis of the skills, knowl-
edge, and abilities necessary for competent 
performance of the task(s) in which this par-
ticular model is to be used, and requires 
TPAA acceptance of each Class III model. 

Altitude

—pressure altitude (meters or feet) 

unless specified otherwise. 

Angle of Attack

—the angle between the air-

plane longitudinal axis and the relative wind 
vector projected onto the airplane plane of 
symmetry. 

Automatic Testing

—FSTD testing where all 

stimuli are under computer control. 

Bank

—the airplane attitude with respect 

to or around the longitudinal axis, or roll 
angle (degrees). 

Breakout

—the force required at the pilot’s 

primary controls to achieve initial move-
ment of the control position. 

Certificate Holder

—a person issued a certifi-

cate under parts 119, 141, or 142 of this chap-
ter or a person holding an approved course of 
training for flight engineers in accordance 
with part 63 of this chapter. 

Closed Loop Testing

—a test method where 

the input stimuli are generated by control-
lers that drive the FSTD to follow a pre-de-
fined target response. 

Computer Controlled Aircraft

—an aircraft 

where all pilot inputs to the control surfaces 
are transferred and augmented by com-
puters. 

Confined Area (helicopter operations)

—an 

area where the flight of the helicopter is lim-
ited in some direction by terrain or the pres-
ence of natural or man-made obstructions 
(e.g., a clearing in the woods, a city street, 
or a road bordered by trees or power lines are 
regarded as confined areas). 

Control Sweep

—movement of the appro-

priate pilot controller from neutral to an ex-
treme limit in one direction (Forward, Aft, 
Right, or Left), a continuous movement back 
through neutral to the opposite extreme po-
sition, and then a return to the neutral posi-
tion. 

Convertible FSTD

—an FSTD in which hard-

ware and software can be changed so that the 
FSTD becomes a replica of a different model, 
usually of the same type aircraft. The same 
FSTD platform, flight deck shell, motion 
system, visual system, computers, and pe-
ripheral equipment can be used in more than 
one simulation. 

Critical Engine Parameter

—the parameter 

that is the most accurate measure of propul-
sive force. 

Deadband

—the amount of movement of the 

input for a system for which there is no reac-
tion in the output or state of the system ob-
served. 

Distance

—the length of space between two 

points, expressed in terms of nautical miles 
unless otherwise specified. 

Discrepancy

—as used in this part, an aspect 

of the FSTD that is not correct with respect 
to the aircraft being simulated. This in-
cludes missing, malfunctioning, or inoper-
ative components that are required to be 
present and operate correctly for training, 
evaluation, and experience functions to be
