If the sponsor provides a plan for how the 

FTD will be maintained during its out-of- 
service period (e.g., periodic exercise of me-
chanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems; 
routine replacement of hydraulic fluid; con-
trol of the environmental factors in which 
the FTD is to be maintained) there is a 
greater likelihood that the NSPM will be 
able to determine the amount of testing that 
required for requalification.

a. FTD modifications can include hardware 

or software changes. For FTD modifications 
involving software programming changes, 
the record required by § 60.31(a)(2) must con-
sist of the name of the aircraft system soft-
ware, aerodynamic model, or engine model 
change, the date of the change, a summary 
of the change, and the reason for the change. 

b. If a coded form for record keeping is 

used, it must provide for the preservation 
and retrieval of information with appro-
priate security or controls to prevent the in-
appropriate alteration of such records after 
the fact.

NFORMATION

 

a. The following is a general description of 

each level of FTD. Detailed standards and 
tests for the various levels of FTDs are fully 
defined in Attachments 1 through 3 of this 
appendix. 

(1) Level 4. A device that may have an open 

airplane-specific flight deck area, or an en-
closed airplane-specific flight deck and at 
least one operating system. Air/ground logic 
is required (no aerodynamic programming 
required). All displays may be flat/LCD panel 
representations or actual representations of 
displays in the aircraft. All controls, switch-
es, and knobs may be touch sensitive activa-
tion (not capable of manual manipulation of 
the flight controls) or may physically rep-
licate the aircraft in control operation. 

(2) Level 5. A device that may have an open 

airplane-specific flight deck area, or an en-
closed airplane-specific flight deck; generic 
aerodynamic programming; at least one op-
erating system; and control loading that is 
representative of the simulated airplane 
only at an approach speed and configuration. 
All displays may be flat/LCD panel represen-
tations or actual representations of displays 
in the aircraft. Primary and secondary flight 
controls (e.g., rudder, aileron, elevator, flaps, 
spoilers/speed brakes, engine controls, land-
ing gear, nosewheel steering, trim, brakes) 
must be physical controls. All other con-
trols, switches, and knobs may be touch sen-
sitive activation. 

(3) Level 6. A device that has an enclosed 

airplane-specific flight deck; airplane-spe-
cific aerodynamic programming; all applica-
ble airplane systems operating; control load-
ing that is representative of the simulated 
airplane throughout its ground and flight en-
velope; and significant sound representation. 
All displays may be flat/LCD panel represen-
tations or actual representations of displays 
in the aircraft, but all controls, switches, 
and knobs must physically replicate the air-
craft in control operation.
