NTRODUCTION
a. The following is an example test sched-
ule for an Initial/Upgrade evaluation that
covers the majority of the requirements set
out in the Functions and Subjective test re-
quirements. It is not intended that the
schedule be followed line by line, rather, the
example should be used as a guide for pre-
paring a schedule that is tailored to the air-
plane, sponsor, and training task.
b. Functions and subjective tests should be
planned. This information has been orga-
nized as a reference document with the con-
siderations, methods, and evaluation notes
for each individual aspect of the simulator
task presented as an individual item. In this
way the evaluator can design his or her own
test plan, using the appropriate sections to
provide guidance on method and evaluation
criteria. Two aspects should be present in
any test plan structure:
(1) An evaluation of the simulator to deter-
mine that it replicates the aircraft and per-
forms reliably for an uninterrupted period
equivalent to the length of a typical training
session.
(2) The simulator should be capable of op-
erating reliably after the use of training de-
vice functions such as repositions or mal-
functions.
c. A detailed understanding of the training
task will naturally lead to a list of objec-
tives that the simulator should meet. This
list will form the basis of the test plan. Addi-
tionally, once the test plan has been formu-
lated, the initial conditions and the evalua-
tion criteria should be established. The eval-
uator should consider all factors that may
have an influence on the characteristics ob-
served during particular training tasks in
order to make the test plan successful.
