Motion system effects 

Simulator level 

Notes 

A B C D 

This table specifies motion effects that are required to indicate when a flight crewmember must be able to recognize an event 

or situation. Where applicable, flight simulator pitch, side loading and directional control characteristics must be representative 
of the airplane. 

1. ..............

Runway rumble, oleo deflection, ground 

speed, uneven runway, runway and taxiway 
centerline light characteristics: 

Procedure: After the airplane has been pre- 

set to the takeoff position and then re-
leased, taxi at various speeds with a 
smooth runway and note the general char-
acteristics of the simulated runway rumble 
effects of oleo deflections. Repeat the ma-
neuver with a runway roughness of 50%, 
then with maximum roughness. Note the 
associated motion vibrations affected by 
ground speed and runway roughness.

X  Different gross weights can also be selected, 

which may also affect the associated vibra-
tions depending on airplane type. The asso-
ciated motion effects for the above tests 
should also include an assessment of the 
effects of rolling over centerline lights, sur-
face discontinuities of uneven runways, and 
various taxiway characteristics. 

2. ..............

Buffets on the ground due to spoiler/ 

speedbrake extension and reverse thrust: 

Procedure: Perform a normal landing and use 

ground spoilers and reverse thrust—either 
individually or in combination—to decelerate 
the simulated airplane. Do not use wheel 
braking so that only the buffet due to the 
ground spoilers and thrust reversers is felt.

3. ..............

Bumps associated with the landing gear: 
Procedure: Perform a normal take-off paying 

special attention to the bumps that could be 
perceptible due to maximum oleo extension 
after lift-off. When the landing gear is ex-
tended or retracted, motion bumps can be 
felt when the gear locks into position.

4. ..............

Buffet during extension and retraction of land-

ing gear: 

Procedure: Operate the landing gear. Check 

that the motion cues of the buffet experi-
enced represent the actual airplane.
