creditable. It also includes errors in the documentation used to support the FSTD (e.g.,
MQTG errors, information missing from the
MQTG, or required statements from appropriately qualified personnel).
Downgrade - a permanent change in the
qualification level of an FSTD to a lower
level.
Driven - a test method where the input
stimulus or variable is positioned by automatic means, usually a computer input.
Electronic Copy of the MQTG - an electronic
copy of the MQTG provided by an electronic
scan presented in a format, acceptable to the
NSPM.
Electronic Master Qualification Test Guide - 
an electronic version of the MQTG (eMQTG),
where all objective data obtained from airplane testing, or another approved source,
together with correlating objective test results obtained from the performance of the
FSTD and a description of the equipment
necessary to perform the evaluation for the
initial and the continuing qualification evaluations is stored, archived, or presented in
either reformatted or digitized electronic
format.
Engine - as used in this part, the appliance
or structure that supplies propulsive force
for movement of the aircraft: i.e., The turbine engine for turbine powered aircraft; the
turbine engine and propeller assembly for
turbo-propeller powered aircraft; and the reciprocating engine and propeller assembly
for reciprocating engine powered aircraft.
For purposes of this part, engine failure is
the failure of either the engine or propeller
assembly to provide thrust higher than idle
power thrust due to a failure of either the
engine or the propeller assembly.
Evaluation - with respect to an individual,
the checking, testing, or review associated
with flight crewmember qualification, training, and certification under parts 61, 63, 121,
or 135 of this chapter. With respect to an
FSTD, the qualification activities for the device (e.g., the objective and subjective tests,
the inspections, or the continuing qualification evaluations) associated with the requirements of this part.
Fictional Airport - a visual model of an airport that is a collection of  - non-real world - 
terrain, instrument approach procedures,
navigation aids, maps, and visual modeling
detail sufficient to enable completion of an
Airline Transport Pilot Certificate or Type
Rating.
Flight Experience - recency of flight experience for landing credit purposes.
Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) - a
full flight simulator (FFS) or a flight training device (FTD). (Part 1)
Flight Test Data - (a subset of objective
data) aircraft data collected by the aircraft
manufacturer or other acceptable data supplier during an aircraft flight test program.

Flight Training Device (FTD) - a replica of
aircraft instruments, equipment, panels, and
controls in an open flight deck area or an enclosed aircraft flight deck replica. It includes the equipment and computer programs necessary to represent aircraft (or set
of aircraft) operations in ground and flight
conditions having the full range of capabilities of the systems installed in the device as
described in part 60 of this chapter and the
qualification performance standard (QPS) for
a specific FTD qualification level. (Part 1)
Free Response - the response of the FSTD
after completion of a control input or disturbance.
Frozen - a test condition where one or more
variables are held constant with time.
FSTD Approval - the extent to which an
FSTD may be used by a certificate holder as
authorized by the FAA.
FSTD Directive - a document issued by the
FAA to an FSTD sponsor requiring a modification to the FSTD due to a safety-of-flight
issue and amending the qualification basis
for the FSTD.
FSTD Latency - the additional time for the
FSTD to respond to input that is beyond the
response time of the aircraft.
FSTD Performance - the overall performance of the FSTD, including aircraft performance (e.g., thrust/drag relationships,
climb, range) and flight and ground handling.
Full Flight Simulator (FFS) - a replica of a
specific type, make, model, or series aircraft.
It includes the equipment and computer programs necessary to represent aircraft operations in ground and flight conditions, a visual system providing an out-of-the-flight
deck view, a system that provides cues at
least equivalent to those of a three-degreeof-freedom motion system, and has the full
range of capabilities of the systems installed
in the device as described in part 60 of this
chapter and the QPS for a specific FFS qualification level. (Part 1)
Gate Clutter - the static and moving ground
traffic (e.g., other airplanes; tugs; power or
baggage carts; fueling, catering, or cargo
trucks; pedestrians) presented to pose a potential conflict with the simulated aircraft
during ground operations around the point
where the simulated airplane is to be parked
between flights
Generic Airport Model - a Class III visual
model that combines correct navigation aids
for a real world airport with a visual model
that does not depict that same airport.
Grandfathering - as used in this part, the
practice of assigning a qualification basis for
an FSTD based on the period of time during
which a published set of standards governed
the requirements for the initial and continuing qualification of FSTDs. Each FSTD
manufactured during this specified period of
