engines)
       The flight dynamics model of the device must be able to simulate the various combinations of airspeed and power that are normally encountered in the flight of a multi-crew helicopter, and that give rise to changes in the following:
(a) helicopter attitude;
(b) aerodynamic and propulsive forces and moments;
(c) temperature;
(d) altitude;
(e) helicopter mass.

3 Ground reaction and handling
       3.1The ground reaction models of the device (the models) must be sufficient for the FCM to determine when the simulated helicopter has landed.
       3.2If the device simulates a helicopter capable of ground taxi operations, the ground handling model must be capable of simulating the helicopter being taxied by the FCM.
Note   For simulation, a helicopter with a retractable undercarriage but not fitted with brakes for ground taxi operations may be treated as a helicopter with landing skids.

4 Helicopter systems
       4.1Helicopter systems of the device, as used in training, must simulate those of a multi-crew helicopter.
       4.2 The systems must be functionally correct to simulate specified normal, non‑normal and emergency operating procedures for a multi-crew helicopter.
       4.3 The systems must simulate multi-crew helicopter system operations, including interdependencies, both on the ground and in flight.
       4.4Circuit breakers operated in the conduct of MCC training must be functionally accurate and simulate the functions of circuit breakers in a multi-crew helicopter.
       4.5 Instrument indications must automatically respond:
(a) to movements of the flight controls by an FCM; and
(b) to simulated atmospheric disturbance;
       as they would in a multi-crew helicopter and with no discernible latency.
       4.6 For subclause 4.5, numerical values displayed or otherwise conveyed by the instruments must be presented in units relevant to a multi-crew helicopter.
       4.7 The device must simulate the following multi-crew helicopter systems:
(a) a communication system;
(b) a navigation system;
(c) a caution and warning system.
       4.8 The simulated systems mentioned in subclause 4.7 must include the following:
(a) a noise-attenuating headset communications system for each FCM;
(b) a method of identifying selected navigation aids;
(c) push-to-transmit switches for each FCM, installed on the flight controls;
(d) a capacity enabling each FCM to select the radio frequency that he or she intends to use;
(e) a system which enables the instructor to determine if each FCM is transmitting on the correct frequency except if this may be determined visually by the instructor.
       4.9The device must simulate the effects of operation of the anti-ice system when the FCM selects the system.
       4.10The device must be fitted with an automatic flight control system that simulates the operation of an autopilot fitted to a helicopter.
       4.11If the device is fitted with a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS), activation of the TCAS must simulate activation of a TCAS fitted
