(2) A continuing qualification evaluation

requirements page. This page will be used by
the NSPM to establish and record the fre-
quency with which continuing qualification
evaluations must be conducted and any sub-
sequent changes that may be determined by
the NSPM in accordance with § 60.19. See At-
tachment 4, Figure B4G, of this appendix, for
a sample Continuing Qualification Evalua-
tion Requirements page.

(3) An FTD information page that provides

the information listed in this paragraph, if
applicable (see Attachment 4, Figure B4B, of
this appendix, for a sample FTD information
page). For convertible FTDs, the sponsor
must submit a separate page for each con-
figuration of the FTD.

(a) The sponsor’s FTD identification num-

ber or code.

(b) The airplane model and series being

simulated.

or reference.

(d) The source of the basic aerodynamic

model and the aerodynamic coefficient data
used to modify the basic model.

(e) The engine model(s) and its data revi-

sion number or reference.

(f) The flight control data revision number

or reference.

(g) The flight management system identi-

fication and revision level.

(h) The FTD model and manufacturer.
(i) The date of FTD manufacture.
(j) The FTD computer identification.
(k) The visual system model and manufac-

turer, including display type.

(l) The motion system type and manufac-

turer, including degrees of freedom.

(4) A Table of Contents.
(5) A log of revisions and a list of effective

pages.

(6) List of all relevant data references.
(7) A glossary of terms and symbols used

(including sign conventions and units).

(8) Statements of compliance and capa-

bility (SOCs) with certain requirements.

(9) Recording procedures or equipment re-

quired to accomplish the objective tests.

(10) The following information for each ob-

jective test designated in Attachment 2 of
this appendix, as applicable to the qualifica-
tion level sought:

(a) Name of the test.
(b) Objective of the test.
(c) Initial conditions.
(d) Manual test procedures.
(e) Automatic test procedures (if applica-

ble).

(f) Method for evaluating FTD objective

test results.

(g) List of all relevant parameters driven

or constrained during the automatic test(s).

(h) List of all relevant parameters driven

or constrained during the manual test(s).

(i) Tolerances for relevant parameters.

(j) Source of Validation Data (document

and page number).

(k) Copy of the Validation Data (if located

in a separate binder, a cross reference for the
identification and page number for pertinent
data location must be provided).

(l) FTD Objective Test Results as obtained

by the sponsor. Each test result must reflect
the date completed and must be clearly la-
beled as a product of the device being tested.

f. A convertible FTD is addressed as a sepa-

rate FTD for each model and series airplane
to which it will be converted and for the
FAA qualification level sought. The NSPM
will conduct an evaluation for each configu-
ration. If a sponsor seeks qualification for
two or more models of an airplane type using
a convertible FTD, the sponsor must provide
a QTG for each airplane model, or a QTG for
the first airplane model and a supplement to
that QTG for each additional airplane model.
The NSPM will conduct evaluations for each
airplane model.

g. The form and manner of presentation of

objective test results in the QTG must in-
clude the following:

(1) The sponsor’s FTD test results must be

recorded in a manner acceptable to the
NSPM, that allows easy comparison of the
FTD test results to the validation data (e.g.,
use of a multi-channel recorder, line printer,
cross plotting, overlays, transparencies).

(2) FTD results must be labeled using ter-

minology common to airplane parameters as
opposed to computer software identifica-
tions.

(3) Validation data documents included in

a QTG may be photographically reduced only
if such reduction will not alter the graphic
scaling or cause difficulties in scale interpre-
tation or resolution.

(4) Scaling on graphical presentations

must provide the resolution necessary to
evaluate the parameters shown in Attach-
ment 2, Table B2A of this appendix.

(5) Tests involving time histories, data

sheets (or transparencies thereof) and FTD
test results must be clearly marked with ap-
propriate reference points to ensure an accu-
rate comparison between FTD and airplane
with respect to time. Time histories recorded
via a line printer are to be clearly identified
for cross-plotting on the airplane data. Over-
plots may not obscure the reference data.

h. The sponsor may elect to complete the

QTG objective and subjective tests at the
manufacturer’s facility or at the sponsor’s
training facility. If the tests are conducted
at the manufacturer’s facility, the sponsor
must repeat at least one-third of the tests at
the sponsor’s training facility in order to
substantiate FTD performance. The QTG
must be clearly annotated to indicate when
and where each test was accomplished. Tests
conducted at the manufacturer’s facility and
at the sponsor’s training facility must be
conducted after the FTD is assembled with
