time is  - grandfathered -  or held to the standards that were in effect during that time period. The grandfathered standards remain
applicable to each FSTD manufactured during the stated time period regardless of any
subsequent modification to those standards
and regardless of the sponsor, as long as the
FSTD remains qualified or is maintained in
a non-qualified status in accordance with the
specific requirements and time periods prescribed in this part.
Gross Weight - For objective test purposes:
Basic Operating Weight (BOW) - the empty
weight of the aircraft plus the weight of the
following: Normal oil quantity; lavatory
servicing fluid; potable water; required crewmembers and their baggage; and emergency
equipment.
Light Gross Weight - a weight chosen by the
sponsor or data provider that is not more
than 120% of the BOW of the aircraft being
simulated or the minimum practical operating weight of the test aircraft.
Medium Gross Weight - a weight chosen by
the sponsor or data provider that is within
10% of the average of the numerical values of
the BOW and the maximum certificated
gross weight.
Near Maximum Gross Weight - a weight chosen by the sponsor or data provider that is
not less than the BOW of the aircraft being
simulated plus 80% of the difference between
the maximum certificated gross weight (either takeoff weight or landing weight, as appropriate for the test) and the BOW.
Ground Effect - the change in aerodynamic
characteristics due to of the change in the
airflow past the aircraft caused by the proximity of the earth-s surface to the airplane.
Hands Off - a test maneuver conducted
without pilot control inputs.
Hands On - a test maneuver conducted with
pilot control inputs as required.
Heave - FSTD movement with respect to or
along the vertical axis.
Height - the height above ground level (or
AGL) expressed in meters or feet.
 - In Use -  Runway - as used in this part, the
runway that is currently selected, able to be
used for takeoffs and landings, and has the
surface lighting and markings required by
this part. Also known as the  - active -  runway.
Integrated Testing - testing of the FSTD so
that all aircraft system models are active
and contribute appropriately to the results.
With integrated testing, none of the models
used are substituted with models or other algorithms intended for testing only.
Irreversible Control System - a control system where movement of the control surface
will not backdrive the pilot-s control on the
flight deck.
Locked - a test condition where one or more
variables are held constant with time.
Manual Testing - FSTD testing conducted
without computer inputs except for initial

setup, and all modules of the simulation are
active.
Master Qualification Test Guide (MQTG) - 
the FAA-approved Qualification Test Guide
with the addition of the FAA-witnessed test
results, applicable to each individual FSTD.
Medium - the normal operational weight for
a given flight segment.
National
Simulator
Program
Manager
(NSPM) - the FAA manager responsible for
the overall administration and direction of
the National Simulator Program (NSP), or a
person approved by that FAA manager.
Near Limiting Performance - the performance level the operating engine must be required to achieve to have sufficient power to
land a helicopter after experiencing a single
engine failure during takeoff of a multiengine helicopter. The operating engine must
be required to operate within at least 5 percent of the maximum RPM or temperature
limits of the gas turbine or power turbine, or
operate within at least 5 percent of the maximum drive train torque limits. Near limiting performance is based on the existing
combination of density altitude, temperature, and helicopter gross weight.
Nominal - the normal operating configuration, atmospheric conditions, and flight parameters for the specified flight segment.
Non-Normal Control - a term used in reference to Computer Controlled Aircraft. It is
the state where one or more of the intended
control, augmentation, or protection functions are not fully working. Note: Specific
terms such as ALTERNATE, DIRECT, SECONDARY, or BACKUP may be used to define
an actual level of degradation.
Normal Control - a term used in reference to
Computer Controlled Aircraft. It is the state
where the intended control, augmentation,
and protection functions are fully working.
Objective Data - quantitative data, acceptable to the NSPM, used to evaluate the
FSTD.
Objective Test - a quantitative measurement
and evaluation of FSTD performance.
Pitch - the airplane attitude with respect
to, or around, the lateral axis expressed in
degrees.
Power Lever Angle (PLA) - the angle of the
pilot-s primary engine control lever(s) on the
flight deck. This may also be referred to as
THROTTLE or POWER LEVER.
Predicted Data - estimations or extrapolations of existing flight test data or data
from other simulation models using engineering analyses, engineering simulations,
design data, or wind tunnel data.
Protection Functions - systems functions designed to protect an airplane from exceeding
its flight maneuver limitations.
Pulse Input - a step input to a control followed by an immediate return to the initial
position.
Qualification Level - the categorization of
an FSTD established by the NSPM based on
