6 Classes of Airports SL-6-NSP

7 Class I Airport Qualification standards contained in Table A3B or C3B of Part 60 Applicable only to those FSTDs under Part 60 Evaluated by NSP on initial & CQ evaluations Intended to demonstrate visual system performance/capabilities & are available for use in training Listed on the Statement of Qualification Not evaluated by TPAA SL-7-NSP

8 Class II Airport Standards contained in Table A3C or C3C of Part 60 Evaluated by simulator sponsor Not listed on Statement of Qualification Real-world or fictitious airports Intended to meet basic airport model content for training, checking, & testing Not required to have all airport runways fully modeled SL-8-NSP

9 Class III Airport Intended to represent real-world airports but lack the scene requirements of Class I or II Accepted for use in training by the TPAA Not listed on Statement of Qualification Allowed to be inaccurate or incomplete airport models with restrictions Appropriately restricted to prevent negative training SL-9-NSP

10 Missing, Malfunctioning, or Inoperative Equipment SL-10-NSP

11 MMI Component Definition As defined in 14 CFR 60.25, a missing, malfunctioning or inoperative component of the FSTD that is required to be present and correctly operate for the satisfactory completion of that maneuver, procedure, or task. SL-11-NSP

12 Missing, Malfunctioning, or Inoperative MMI Equipment IAW it is the responsibility of the instructor, check airman, or representative of the administrator conducting training, testing, or checking, to exercise reasonable and prudent judgment to determine if any MMI component is necessary for satisfactory completion of a specific maneuver, procedure, or task SL-12-NSP

13 Reporting MMI Components Does the discrepancy affect or require a change to the SOQ? Does the discrepancy affect the performance or handling qualities of the FSTD? Does the discrepancy affect the accomplishment of tasks for training, checking, or testing IAW approved training program? If YES to any of the above, the discrepancy should be considered an MMI component. If correction of that component should exceed 30 days, the discrepancy must be reported to the NSP for authorization to operate the FSTD. NSP Guidance Bulletin SL-13-NSP

14 MMI Component vs. FSTD Level IAW 14 CFR Part 60 SL-14-NSP

15 FSTD Modifications SL-15-NSP

16 Modifications to an FSTD Not all changes to an FSTD are considered modifications; 60.23(c) & 60.13(f) SL-16-NSP

17 Modifications to an FSTD Per 60.23, an FSTD has been modified when: Equipment or devices are added to or removed from FSTD, which change the Statement of Qualification or the MQTG; Changes are made to either software or hardware that are intended to impact flight or ground dynamics; Changes are made that impact performance or handling characteristics of the FSTD; Changes are made to the MQTG; SL-17-NSP

18 Notification of FSTD Modification and Validation Data Updates Prior to using a modified FSTD, sponsors are required to simultaneously notify the NSPM and the TPAA. NSP Guidance Bulletin NSP Notification - NSP Form T011 SL-18-NSP

19 Level 4 & 5 Approval and Limitations SL-19-NSP

20 Level 4 FTD Part 60 does not provide for flight credit TPAA Conducts Evals for Level 4 FTDs SL-20-NSP

21 Level 5 FTD TPAA Conducts Evals for Level 5 FTDs SL-21-NSP

22 Level 6 FTD NSP Conducts Evals for Level 6 FTDs SL-22-NSP

23 SL-23-NSP

24 SL-24-NSP

25 Common Questions SL-25-NSP

26 When should an Instructor/TCE write up a sim issue? Should an issue be written up in the logbook if the instructor is able to clear it? What if they have to pick up the phone and call a sim tech to reboot? Should this be logged? Opinion - any discrepancy that causes a training interruption should be logged (not including an instructor error). Reboots should be logged too. SL-26-NSP
