Pt. 60, App. A 

(f) The flight control data revision number 

or reference. 

(g) The flight management system identi-

fication and revision level. 

(h) The FFS model and manufacturer. 
(i) The date of FFS manufacture. 
(j) The FFS 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) A 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, 
Table A2A, of this appendix as applicable to 
the qualification 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 FFS objective 

test results. 

(g) List of all relevant parameters driven 

or constrained during the automatically con-
ducted test(s). 

(h) List of all relevant parameters driven 

or constrained during the manually con-
ducted 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) Simulator Objective Test Results as ob-

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

f. A convertible FFS is addressed as a sepa-

rate FFS for each model and series airplane 
to which it will be converted and for the 
FAA qualification level sought. If a sponsor 
seeks qualification for two or more models of 
an airplane type using a convertible FFS, 
the sponsor must submit a QTG for each air-
plane 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. Form and manner of presentation of ob-

jective test results in the QTG: 

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

recorded in a manner acceptable to the 

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

(2) FFS 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 A2A of this appendix. 

(5) Tests involving time histories, data 

sheets (or transparencies thereof) and FFS 
test results must be clearly marked with ap-
propriate reference points to ensure an accu-
rate comparison between the FFS and the 
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 must not obscure the ref-
erence 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 FFS 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 FFS is assembled with 
systems and sub-systems functional and op-
erating in an interactive manner. The test 
results must be submitted to the NSPM. 

i. The sponsor must maintain a copy of the 

MQTG at the FFS location. 

j. All FFSs for which the initial qualifica-

tion is conducted after May 30, 2014, must 
have an electronic MQTG (eMQTG) including 
all objective data obtained from airplane 
testing, or another approved source (refor-
matted or digitized), together with corre-
lating objective test results obtained from 
the performance of the FFS (reformatted or 
digitized) as prescribed in this appendix. The 
eMQTG must also contain the general FFS 
performance or demonstration results (refor-
matted or digitized) prescribed in this appen-
dix, and a description of the equipment nec-
essary to perform the initial qualification 
evaluation and the continuing qualification 
evaluations. The eMQTG must include the 
original validation data used to validate 
FFS performance and handling qualities in 
either the original digitized format from the 
data supplier or an electronic scan of the
