Notes
6.a. ...........
The simulator must have a visual sys-
tem providing an out-of-the-flight
deck view.
X X X X
6.b. ...........
The simulator must provide a contin-
uous collimated field-of-view of at
least 45
°
horizontally and 30
°
vertically per pilot seat or the number
of degrees necessary to meet the
visual ground segment requirement,
whichever is greater. Both pilot seat
visual systems must be operable si-
multaneously. The minimum hori-
zontal field-of-view coverage must be
plus and minus one-half (
1
⁄
2
) of the
minimum continuous field-of-view re-
quirement, centered on the zero de-
gree azimuth line relative to the air-
craft fuselage.
An SOC is required and must explain
the system geometry measurements
including system linearity and field-
of-view.
X
X
Additional field-of-view capability may be added at
the sponsor’s discretion provided the minimum
fields of view are retained.
6.c. ............
(Reserved).
6.d. ...........
The simulator must provide a contin-
uous collimated visual field-of-view of
at least 176
°
horizontally and 36
°
vertically or the number of degrees
necessary to meet the visual ground
segment requirement, whichever is
greater. The minimum horizontal
field-of-view coverage must be plus
and minus one-half (
1
⁄
2
) of the min-
imum continuous field-of-view re-
quirement, centered on the zero de-
gree azimuth line relative to the air-
craft fuselage.
An SOC is required and must explain
the system geometry measurements
including system linearity and field-
of-view.
X
X The horizontal field-of-view is traditionally described
as a 180
°
field-of-view. However, the field-of-view
is technically no less than 176
°
. Additional field-of-
view capability may be added at the sponsor’s dis-
cretion provided the minimum fields-of-view are
retained.
6.e. ...........
The visual system must be free from
optical discontinuities and artifacts
that create non-realistic cues.
X
X
X
X Non-realistic cues might include image ‘‘swimming’’
and image ‘‘roll-off,’’ that may lead a pilot to make
incorrect assessments of speed, acceleration, or
situational awareness.
6.f. ............
The simulator must have operational
landing lights for night scenes.
Where used, dusk (or twilight)
scenes require operational landing
lights.
X X X X
6.g. ...........
The simulator must have instructor con-
trols for the following:
(1) Visibility in statute miles (km) and
runway visual range (RVR) in ft. (m).
(2) Airport selection.
(3) Airport lighting.
X X X X
6.h. ...........
The simulator must provide visual sys-
tem compatibility with dynamic re-
sponse programming.
