Testing for FSTD qualification exempelklausuler

Testing for FSTD qualification. 1.5.1 The FSTD should be assessed in those areas that are essential to completing the flight crewmember training, testing and checking process. This includes the FSTDs’ longitudinal and lateral- directional responses; performance in take-off, climb, cruise, descent, approach, landing; specific operations; control checks; flight deck, flight engineer, and instructor station functions checks; and certain additional requirements depending on the complexity or Qualification Level of the FSTD. The motion and visual systems (where applicable) will be evaluated to ensure their proper operation. Tolerances listed for parameters in the validation tests (Paragraph 2) of this ACJ are the maximum acceptable for FSTD qualification and should not be confused with FSTD design tolerances. 1.5.2 For FFSs and FTDs the intent is to evaluate the FSTD as objectively as possible. Pilot acceptance, however, is also an important consideration. Therefore, the FSTD will be subjected to validation, and functions and subjective tests listed in Part 2 and 3 of this ACJ. Validation tests are used to compare objectively FFSs and FTDs with aircraft data to ensure that they agree within specified tolerances. Functions and subjective tests provide a basis for evaluating FSTD capability to perform over a typical training period and to verify correct operation of the FSTD. 1.5.3 For initial qualification of FFSs and FTDs aeroplane manufacturer’s validation flight test data is preferred. Data from other sources may be used, subject to the review and concurrence of the Authority.
