EQUIREMENTS
a. Certain requirements included in this
appendix must be supported with an SOC as
defined in Appendix F, which may include
objective and subjective tests. The require-
ments for SOCs are indicated in the ‘‘General
FTD Requirements’’ column in Table B1A of
this appendix.
b. Table B1A describes the requirements
for the indicated level of FTD. Many devices
include operational systems or functions
that exceed the requirements outlined in
this section. In any event, all systems will be
tested and evaluated in accordance with this
appendix to ensure proper operation.

ISCUSSION
a. This attachment describes the general
requirements for qualifying Level 4 through
Level 6 FTDs. The sponsor should also con-
sult the objectives tests in Attachment 2 of
this appendix and the examination of func-
tions and subjective tests listed in Attach-
ment 3 of this appendix to determine the
complete requirements for a specific level
FTD.
b. The material contained in this attach-
ment is divided into the following cat-
egories:
(1) General Flight deck Configuration.
(2) Programming.
(3) Equipment Operation.
(4) Equipment and facilities for instructor/
evaluator functions.
(5) Motion System.
(6) Visual System.
(7) Sound System.
c. Table B1A provides the standards for the
General FTD Requirements.
d. Table B1B provides the tasks that the
sponsor will examine to determine whether
the FTD satisfactorily meets the require-
ments for flight crew training, testing, and
experience, and provides the tasks for which
the simulator may be qualified.
e. Table B1C provides the functions that an
instructor/check airman must be able to con-
trol in the simulator.
f. It is not required that all of the tasks
that appear on the List of Qualified Tasks
(part of the SOQ) be accomplished during the
initial or continuing qualification evalua-
tion.

1. General Flight Deck Configuration
1.a. .............
The FTD must have a flight deck that is a rep-
lica of the airplane simulated with controls,
equipment, observable flight deck indicators,
circuit breakers, and bulkheads properly lo-
cated, functionally accurate and replicating
the airplane. The direction of movement of
controls and switches must be identical to
that in the airplane. Pilot seat(s) must afford
the capability for the occupant to be able to
achieve the design ‘‘eye position.’’ Equipment
for the operation of the flight deck windows
must be included, but the actual windows
need not be operable. Fire axes, extin-
guishers, and spare light bulbs must be avail-
able in the flight simulator, but may be relo-
cated to a suitable location as near as prac-
tical to the original position. Fire axes, landing
gear pins, and any similar purpose instru-
ments need only be represented in silhouette.
X
For FTD purposes, the flight deck consists of all
that space forward of a cross section of the
fuselage at the most extreme aft setting of the
pilots’ seats including additional, required
flight crewmember duty stations and those re-
quired bulkheads aft of the pilot seats. For
clarification, bulkheads containing only items
such as landing gear pin storage compart-
ments, fire axes and extinguishers, spare light
bulbs, aircraft documents pouches are not
considered essential and may be omitted.
