8. Why is this important?
ICAO 9625 Edition 3, Vol. 1 (Aeroplane) enables...
Expansion of international standards from highest-fidelity FSTD (Type VII) to most basic type of FSTD (Type I)
Reduction of number of FSTD Types (from 20+ to 7)
FSTDs tailored to the training tasks for which they are used
Clear links between pilot licences + ratings and FSTD types
Evaluation methodology for Full Task device (Part 2) and also for Part Task device (Part 3)
Evaluation of any type or vintage of FSTD for training suitability
International harmonization (effectiveness & efficiency)
Same flight test cases, same QTG
Consistent training capability with FSTDs
Will facilitate mutual recognition (efficiency)
Will benefit the pilot training community

10. 2006-2009 Aeroplane IWG Effort Approx 80 delegates from 16 countries
Regulatory community ( > 8 countries)
Industry bodies (RAeS, FSEMC, IATA, ICAO,…)
Pilot associations (IFALPA, ALPA,…)
Operators (Aircraft & FSTDs)
Manufacturers (Aicraft & FSTDs)
Many meetings, many sponsors
Industry Wide Briefings
WATS, EATS, APATS, FSEMC, RAeS, ICAO, EASA, JAA, FAA, CAAC, CASA
Largest ever FSTD industry harmonization effort
Industry lead effort, estimated 10 Million Euros

11. Also the RAeS Aeroplane FSTD Evaluation Handbook
Volume 1 – Objective Testing
Revision 4 will align with ICAO 9625 rev. 3.
Available soon, in 2009.
Volume 2 - Function & Subjective Testing
In draft
Available Q

12. Also the IATA FSTD Data Document
IATA FSTD Design and Performance Data Requirements
The 7th edition of the document was published on August 2009.
IATA Data Document is the industry standard for FSTD data requirements

16. Thank you

17. Why Did We Do it ?
Regulatory changes
EASA from JAA
FAA Part 60
Lack of harmonization
Lower Level Devices
Rotary wing FSTDs
New aircraft types
New training types
MPL
No clarity of FSTD
New technologies
Electric Motion
LCOS Projectors
Regulations were increasingly out of step with technology (airplane & FSTD) and with new pilot training methodologies 17

18. Methodology – Step 1 – Training Task Analysis
Agreed training tasks and training types to support licence and rating requirements
EASA/ICAO/FAA training task lists
MPL1,2,3,4 Multi-crew Pilot License
IR Initial Instrument Rating
PPL Private Pilots License
CPL Commercial Pilots License
CR Class Rating
TR Type Rating
RL Recurrent License (Training & Checking)
RO Recurrent Operator (Training & Checking)
Re Recency
(Take-off and Landing)
CQ Continuing Qualification
IO Initial Operator
Training (T) –
The FSTD feature fidelity levels required for each listed task that supports the training objective.
Training to Proficiency (TP) –
The FSTD feature fidelity levels required for each listed task that supports the training objective to proficiency and allow testing and checking towards the issue of a licence, rating, or qualification. 18

19. Methodology – Step 2 - Simulation Features
Agreed list of simulation features elements required to support any individual training task

20. Methodology – Step 3 - Training Task Matrix Concept
Combine data from Steps 1, and 2 into a single matrix

Fidelity Levels (4)

Use matrix to determine FSTD feature and fidelity requirements by training task 20

21. Some obvious questions
How do we address Part Task Trainers qualification?
How does this apply to my existing Simulators?
Answers
Use training task vs FSTD feature matrix...
To determine training task applicability based on levels of fidelity of FSTD simulation features present in your device
To develop QTG document for qualification if required
Note!
Grandfather rights are not even mentioned in ICAO 9625 as their applicability are the NAAs perogative! 21
