1.b. .................

The fidelity of the airport model must be sufficient for the aircrew to visually identify the 

airport; determine the position of the simulated airplane within a night visual scene; 
successfully accomplish take-offs, approaches, and landings; and maneuver around 
the airport on the ground as necessary.

2. ...........................

Functional test content requirements for Level C and Level D simulators. The following is the minimum air-
port model content requirement to satisfy visual capability tests, and provide suitable visual cues to allow 
completion of all functions and subjective tests described in this attachment for simulators at Levels C and 
D. Not all of the elements described in this section must be found in a single airport model. However, all of 
the elements described in this section must be found throughout a combination of the three (3) airport 
models described in entry 2.a. 

2.a. .................

A minimum of three (3) representative airport models. The model identifications must 

be acceptable to the sponsor’s TPAA, selectable from the IOS, and listed on the 
SOQ.

Night and Twilight (Dusk) scenes required .......................................................................

2.a.2. .......

Daylight scenes required ...................................................................................................

X 

2.b. ..........

Two parallel runways and one crossing runway, displayed simultaneously; at least two 

of the runways must be able to be lighted fully and simultaneously.

Note: This requirement may be demonstrated at either a fictional airport or a real-world 

airport. However, if a fictional airport is used, this airport must be listed on the SOQ.

X X 

2.c. .................

Runway threshold elevations and locations must be modeled to provide sufficient cor-

relation with airplane systems (e.g., HGS, GPS, altimeter); slopes in runways, 
taxiways, and ramp areas must not cause distracting or unrealistic effects, including 
pilot eye-point height variation.

2.d. .................

Representative airport buildings, structures and lighting ..................................................

X 

X 

2.e. .................

At least one useable gate, at the appropriate height (required only for those airplanes 

that typically operate from terminal gates).

X X 

2.f. ..................

Representative moving and static gate clutter (e.g., other airplane, power carts, tugs, 

fuel trucks, and additional gates).

X X 

2.g. .................

Representative gate/apron markings (e.g., hazard markings, lead-in lines, gate num-

bering) and lighting.

X X 

2.h. .................

Representative runway markings, lighting, and signage, including a windsock that 

gives appropriate wind cues.

X X 

2.i. ..................

Representative taxiway markings, lighting, and signage necessary for position identi-

fication, and to taxi from parking to a designated runway and return to parking.

X X 

2.j. ..................

A low visibility taxi route (e.g., Surface Movement Guidance Control System, follow-me 

truck, daylight taxi lights) must also be demonstrated.

X 

2.k. .................

Representative moving and static ground traffic (e.g., vehicular and airplane), including 

the capability to present ground hazards (e.g., another airplane crossing the active 
runway).
