Airport model content. The following sets out the minimum requirements for what must be provided in an 
airport model and also identifies the other aspects of the airport environment that must correspond with 
that model for simulators at Levels A, B, C, and D. For circling approaches, all tests apply to the runway 
used for the initial approach and to the runway of intended landing. If all runways in an airport model used 
to meet the requirements of this attachment are not designated as ‘‘in use,’’ then the ‘‘in use’’ runways 
must be listed on the SOQ (e.g., KORD, Rwys 9R, 14L, 22R). Models of airports with more than one run-
way must have all significant runways not ‘‘in-use’’ visually depicted for airport and runway recognition pur-
poses. The use of white or off white light strings that identify the runway threshold, edges, and ends for 
twilight and night scenes are acceptable for this requirement. Rectangular surface depictions are accept-
able for daylight scenes. A visual system’s capabilities must be balanced between providing airport models 
with an accurate representation of the airport and a realistic representation of the surrounding environ-
ment. Airport model detail must be developed using airport pictures, construction drawings and maps, or 
other similar data, or developed in accordance with published regulatory material; however, this does not 
require that such models contain details that are beyond the design capability of the currently qualified vis-
ual system. Only one ‘‘primary’’ taxi route from parking to the runway end will be required for each ‘‘in-use’’ 
runway.
