3.a. .............
All relevant instrument indications involved in
the simulation of the airplane must automati-
cally respond to control movement or external
disturbances to the simulated airplane; e.g.,
turbulence or winds.
X X
3.b. .............
Navigation equipment must be installed and op-
erate within the tolerances applicable for the
airplane.
X X
Level 6 must also include communication equip-
ment (inter-phone and air/ground) like that in
the airplane and, if appropriate to the oper-
ation being conducted, an oxygen mask
microphone system.
Level 5 need have only that navigation equip-
ment necessary to fly an instrument approach.
3.c. .............
Installed systems must simulate the applicable
airplane system operation, both on the ground
and in flight. Installed systems must be opera-
tive to the extent that applicable normal, ab-
normal, and emergency operating procedures
included in the sponsor’s training programs
can be accomplished.
X X X
Level 6 must simulate all applicable airplane
flight, navigation, and systems operation.
Level 5 must have at least functional flight and
navigational controls, displays, and instrumen-
tation.
Level 4 must have at least one airplane system
installed and functional.
3.d. .............
The lighting environment for panels and instru-
ments must be sufficient for the operation
being conducted.
X

X Back-lighted panels and instruments may be in-
stalled but are not required.
3.e. .............
The FTD must provide control forces and con-
trol travel that correspond to the airplane
being simulated. Control forces must react in
the same manner as in the airplane under the
same flight conditions.
X
3.f. .............
The FTD must provide control forces and con-
trol travel of sufficient precision to manually
fly an instrument approach.

4. Instructor or Evaluator Facilities
4.a. .............
In addition to the flight crewmember stations,
suitable seating arrangements for an instruc-
tor/check airman and FAA Inspector must be
available. These seats must provide adequate
view of crewmember’s panel(s).
X

X
These seats need not be a replica of an aircraft
seat and may be as simple as an office chair
placed in an appropriate position.
4.b. .............
The FTD must have instructor controls that per-
mit activation of normal, abnormal, and emer-
gency conditions as appropriate. Once acti-
vated, proper system operation must result
from system management by the crew and
not require input from the instructor controls.
