........................

Either flight test data or manufacturer’s 

performance manual data must be 

used where available. Engineering 

data based on dry runway flight test 

stopping distance modified by the ef-

fects of contaminated runway braking 

coefficients are an acceptable alter-

Either flight test or manufacturer’s per-

where available. Engineering data 

based on dry runway flight test stop-

ping distance modified by the effects

2. Handling Qualities. 

..................

For simulators requiring Static or Dynamic tests at the controls (i.e., column, wheel, rudder pedal), special

 test fixtures will not 

be required during initial or upgrade evaluations if the sponsor’s QTG/MQTG shows both test fixture results 

and 

the results of 

an alternative approach, such as computer plots produced concurrently, that provide satisfactory agreement. Repeat of the al-

ternative method during the initial or upgrade evaluation satisfies this test requirement. For initial and upgrade evaluations,

 the 

control dynamic characteristics must be measured at and recorded directly from the flight deck controls, and must be accom-

plished in takeoff, cruise, and landing flight conditions and configurations. Testing of position versus force is not applicabl

e if 

forces are generated solely by use of airplane hardware in the FFS. 

Contact the NSPM for 

clarification of any 

issue regarding air-

planes with revers-

ible controls.
