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
ICAO 9625 Edition 3 - Documentation Structure 55% done Manual of Criteria for the Qualification of FSTDs Volume 2 Helicopters Volume 1 Aeroplanes Part 2 Flight Simulation Training Device Criteria (FSTD Types 1 to 7) Part 1 Training Task Derived Flight Simulation Requirements Part 3 Flight Simulation Feature and Fidelity Level Criteria
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
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 Q1 2010.
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
All the pieces of the puzzle fitting together + + = 100% RAeS FSTD Evaluation Handbook = 100% ICAO 9625 FSTD Standards IATA FSTD Data Requirements Document + + A coherent and harmonised set of documents
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
Methodology – Step 1 – Training Task Analysis 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. • Agreed training tasks and training types to support licence and rating requirements
Methodology – Step 2 - Simulation Features Environment Simulation Aircraft Simulation Environment ATC Flight Model – Aero & Engine Environment Weather Aircraft Systems Environment Navigation Ground Handling Environment Aerodrome & Terrain Flight Controls & Forces Cueing Simulation Cockpit layout Sound Cue Visual Cue Motion Cue • Agreed list of simulation features elements required to support any individual training task
Methodology – Step 3 - Training Task Matrix Concept Combine data from Steps 1, and 2 into a single matrix FSTD Simulation Features (12) Training Types (14) & Tasks(~150) Fidelity Levels (4) None Generic Representative Specific • Use matrix to determine FSTD feature and fidelity requirements by training task
