The FSTD QTG – Don’t Fix What Isn’t Broken !! September 14, 2023This paper was presented by Brian Hampson FRAeS to the society many years ago but is as relevant today as it was when he made the point that the QTG did not need changing, it needed understanding and commitment to improve through it’s use. To those that still today strive to dilute the QTG for commercial benefit, Brian’s message is still powerful. It is not broken, but maybe some Operators are !! |

Course Notes – Installations & Facilities September 14, 2023– Many neophyte organizations do not know that how a FSTD is installed and making sure the installed device meets local, national and international standards is as much a part of getting the device qualified as it meeting, say, validation tests. This paper is a review of the requirements and is intended as a refresher for graduates of TTI’s FSTD Evaluators Course. It is provided here courtesy of Andy Ramsden, one of TTI’s core instructors. |

Motion System Standards and Testing September 14, 2023– This paper is dedicated to the memory of Edward Milton Boothe, who wrote the original draft that became the core document for the Flight Simulator Qualification Standards recognized by EASA, FAA and ICAO. Ed is often considered as the father of modern day simulator standards and below is a paper he wrote about motion systems. We are very proud that he was a founder Partner of Training Technology International until his death in 2000. We all gained much from his wide experience and sound judgment. He is still missed. |

A review of ICAO Document 9625 September 14, 2023– ICAO Document 9625 iss. 3 & 4 Manual of Criteria for the Qualification of FSTD (MCQFSTD) is an extremely valuable document yet one of the most misunderstood in the world of FSTDs. Issues 3 & 4 of this Document are the latest of a series that was first introduced in 1992. If there is one thing that readers of this handout should remember and understand, is that 9625 is not a Regulatory Document nor a Rule. It is, instead, a set of criteria that has been agreed by International Working Groups (IWG- A & IWG-H) and which are expected to be adopted by National Aviation Authorities (NAA) in their Regulations and Rules. These, latter, will take the Document’s criteria and add to them the administrative requirements peculiar to that Nation or State. |

Notes for FSTD Acceptance and Evaluations September 14, 2023– Murph Morrison was a founding member of TTI and a mentor, great friend and colleague. He was well respected for the contributions he made to the design, testing and operation of FSTD’s.

Content of the QTG September 14, 2023In the 20+ years of conducting our FSTD Evaluators course which includes hands-on exercises running validation tests, the TTI team has yet to see a perfect QTG/MQTG, which is strange as it is not a complicated document and all of the requirements are listed in the rules. Maybe it is because so many Operators do not understand the QTG is a legal requirement and their responsibility. They think that the FSTD supplier will magically produce it and the regulatory authority will review and correct it. They do not realize it is a requirement and the Operators responsibility to submit the QTG to the authority, complete and with acceptable results, when applying for a FSTD Qualification . What’s more, it is the Operators responsibility to use and maintain the MQTG throughout the life of the FSTD, which is an impossible task if the Operator does not have control of access to the document, something we also find regularly. This paper is an introduction to the contents of a QTG/MQTG and describes some of the more common misunderstandings. |

FSTD Function and Subjective Test Check List September 14, 2023This is a simple checklist of items/topics that should be included in a F&S check list. F&S checking of a FSTD is recommended to be split into 4 quarterly checks so that the checking of a FSTD can be done in detail and over a 12 month period. If you have a F&S check list that you would be prepared to share with the FSTD community please contact us… |

JAR-FSTD H September 14, 2023There are still many FSTDs qualified to older standards as a primary source document and we have had a number of requests for them. Here’s JAR-FSTD H which was issued 1st May 2008 but had an effectivity date of 1st August 2008. Some national authorities have used this document as a great template to create their own rules using up to date standards as it is a single and much simpler document that what is found in EASA ORA/ARA/CS-FSTD H, but still contains the majority of content. |

FSI to JAR/EASA/FAA Validation Test Number Cross Reference September 14, 2023The rules state that there must be a test numbering system used in a QTG, but national authorities do not stipulate any other requirements apart from the QTG requiring to be easily understood. For validation test numbering in QTGs, most FSTD Operators use some form based on the regulatory document numbering, but FlightSafety use their own based on a more simple system. Here is a cross reference between the FSI numbering of validation tests and that used by most other Operators which follow the numbering of JAR-FSTD A/H, CS-FSTD A/H, or FAA Part 60. This document was kindly included courtesy of Gary Horne at FSI Farnborough. |
