(a) Static test—Slowly move the control so
that a full sweep is achieved within 95–105
seconds. A full sweep is defined as movement
of the controller from neutral to the stop,
usually aft or right stop, then to the oppo-
site stop, then to the neutral position.
(b) Slow dynamic test—Achieve a full
sweep within 8–12 seconds.
(c) Fast dynamic test—Achieve a full
sweep within 3–5 seconds.

: Dynamic sweeps may be limited to
forces not exceeding 100 lbs. (44.5 daN).
(d) Tolerances.
(i) Static test; see Table D2A, Flight Train-
ing Device (FTD) Objective Tests, Entries
2.a.1., 2.a.2., and 2.a.3.
(ii) Dynamic test—
±
2 lbs (0.9 daN) or
±
10%
on dynamic increment above static test.

d. The FAA is open to alternative means
that are justified and appropriate to the ap-
plication. For example, the method described
here may not apply to all manufacturers’
systems and certainly not to aircraft with
reversible control systems. Each case is con-
sidered on its own merit on an ad hoc basis.
If the FAA finds that alternative methods do
not result in satisfactory performance, more
conventionally accepted methods will have
to be used.

EQUIREMENTS
a. Except for special use airport models, all
airport models required by this part must be
representations of real-world, operational
airports or representations of fictional air-
ports and must meet the requirements set
out in Tables D3B or D3C of this attachment,
as appropriate.
b. If fictional airports are used, the sponsor
must ensure that navigational aids and all
appropriate maps, charts, and other naviga-
tional reference material for the fictional
airports (and surrounding areas as nec-
essary) are compatible, complete, and accu-
rate with respect to the visual presentation
and the airport model of this fictional air-
port. An SOC must be submitted that ad-
dresses navigation aid installation and per-
formance and other criteria (including ob-
struction clearance protection) for all in-
strument approaches to the fictional air-
ports that are available in the simulator.
The SOC must reference and account for in-
formation in the terminal instrument proce-
dures manual and the construction and
availability of the required maps, charts, and
other navigational material. This material
must be clearly marked ‘‘for training pur-
poses only.’’
c. When the simulator is being used by an
instructor or evaluator for purposes of train-
ing, checking, or testing under this chapter,
only airport models classified as Class I,
Class II, or Class III may be used by the in-
structor or evaluator. Detailed descriptions/
definitions of these classifications are found
in Appendix F of this part.
d. When a person sponsors an FTD main-
tained by a person other than a U.S. certifi-
cate holder, the sponsor is accountable for
that FTD originally meeting, and continuing
to meet, the criteria under which it was
originally qualified and the appropriate Part
60 criteria, including the visual scenes and
airport models that may be used by instruc-
tors or evaluators for purposes of training,
checking, or testing under this chapter.
e. Neither Class II nor Class III airport vis-
ual models are required to appear on the
SOQ, and the method used for keeping in-
structors and evaluators apprised of the air-
port models that meet Class II or Class III
requirements on any given simulator is at
the option of the sponsor, but the method
used must be available for review by the
TPAA.
f. When an airport model represents a real
world airport and a permanent change is
made to that real world airport (e.g., a new
runway, an extended taxiway, a new lighting
system, a runway closure) without a written
extension grant from the NSPM (described in
paragraph 1.g., of this section), an update to
that airport model must be made in accord-
ance with the following time limits:
