Operations tasks 

This table specifies the minimum airport or helicopter landing area visual model content and functionality necessary to add vis-

ual models to an FTD’s visual model library (i.e., beyond those necessary for qualification at the stated level) without the ne-
cessity of further involvement of the NSPM or TPAA. 

1. ..............

Visual scene management. 
The following is the minimum visual scene management requirements. 

1.a. ...........

The installation and direction of the following lights must be replicated for the ‘‘in-use’’ surface: 

1.a.1. ........

For ‘‘in-use’’ runways: Strobe lights, approach lights, runway edge lights, visual landing aids, runway centerline 

lights, threshold lights, and touchdown zone lights. 

1.a.2. ........

For ‘‘in-use’’ helicopter landing areas: Ground level TLOF perimeter lights, elevated TLOF perimeter lights (if appli-

cable), Optional TLOF lights (if applicable), ground FATO perimeter lights, elevated TLOF lights (if applicable), 
landing direction lights. 

2. ..............

Visual feature recognition. 
The following are the minimum distances at which runway or landing area features must be visible. Distances are 

measured from runway threshold or a helicopter landing area to an aircraft aligned with the runway or helicopter 
landing area on a 3

° 

glide-slope from the aircraft to the touchdown point, in simulated meteorological conditions. 

For circling approaches, all tests apply to the runway used for the initial approach and to the runway of intended 
landing. 

2.a. ...........

For Runways. 

2.a.1. ........

Strobe lights, approach lights, and edge lights from 5 sm (8 km) of the threshold. 

2.a.2. ........

Centerline lights and taxiway definition from 3 sm (5 km). 

2.a.3. ........

Visual Approach Aid lights (VASI or PAPI) from 5 sm (8 km) of the threshold. 

2.a.4. ........

Threshold lights and touchdown zone lights from 2 sm (3 km). 

2.a.5. ........

Markings within range of landing lights for night/twilight (dusk) scenes and as required by the surface resolution 

test on daylight scenes. 

2.a.6. ........

For circling approaches, the runway of intended landing and associated lighting must fade into view in a non-dis-

tracting manner. 

2.b. ...........

For Helicopter landing areas. 

2.b.1. ........

Landing direction lights and raised FATO lights from 2 sm (3 km). 

2.b.2. ........

Flush mounted FATO lights, TOFL lights, and the lighted windsock from 1 sm (1500 m). 

2.b.3. ........

Hover taxiway lighting (yellow/blue/yellow cylinders) from TOFL area. 

2.b.4. ........

Markings within range of landing lights for night/twilight (dusk) scenes and as required by the surface resolution 

test on daylight scenes.
