5.a. .............

The FTD may have a motion system, if desired, 

although it is not required. If a motion system 
is installed and additional training, testing, or 
checking credits are being sought on the 
basis of having a motion system, the motion 
system operation may not be distracting and 
must be coupled closely to provide integrated 
sensory cues. The motion system must also 
respond to abrupt input at the pilot’s position 
within the allotted time, but not before the 
time when the airplane responds under the 
same conditions.

The motion system standards set out in part 60, 

Appendix A for at least Level A simulators is 
acceptable. 

5.b. .............

If a motion system is installed, it must be meas-

ured by latency tests or transport delay tests 
and may not exceed 300 milliseconds. Instru-
ment response may not occur prior to motion 
onset.

The motion system standards set out in part 60, 

Appendix A for at least Level A simulators is 
acceptable. 

6. Visual System 

6.a. .............

The FTD may have a visual system, if desired, 

although it is not required. If a visual system

of-view of 18

horizontal for the 

pilot flying.

An SOC is required.

6.a.4. ..........

The visual system must provide for a maximum 

parallax of 10

6.a.6. ..........

The minimum distance from the pilot’s eye posi-

tion to the surface of a direct view display 
may not be less than the distance to any front 
panel instrument.

An SOC is required.

6.a.7. ..........

The visual system must provide for a minimum 

resolution of 5 arc-minutes for both computed 
and displayed pixel size.

An SOC is required.
