to be used for MCC training for a multi-crew aeroplane.
Note   See paragraph (d) of the definition of flight simulation training device in regulation 61.010 of CASR 1998.

Schedule 1 Qualification standards for an FSTD used for MCC training for a multi-crew aeroplane

1 Flight deck or cockpit layout and structure
       1.1The flight deck or cockpit layout and structure (as the case may be) of the device must:
(a) represent that of a multi-crew aeroplane; and
(b) be enclosed, or perceived by a user to be enclosed, to exclude distractions; and
(c) include, where applicable, the following structural elements:
 (i) primary and secondary flight controls;
 (ii) engine and propeller controls;
 (iii) aeroplane systems (for example, for fuel management, electronics and hydraulics) and their controls;
 (iv) circuit breakers and panels;
 (v) flight instruments and instrument panels;
 (vi) navigation and communication equipment;
 (vii) caution and warning systems.
       1.2Each applicable structural element mentioned in a subparagraph of paragraph 1.1 (c):
(a) must be located in a spatially correct cockpit area; and
(b) must be such that the technique, effort, travel and direction required to manipulate the element simulates that of a multi-crew aeroplane.
Note   Circuit breaker panels that are not required to be operated by an FCM in simulation training, may, as far as practicable, be scale, photographic representations.
       1.3 Flight deck or cockpit instruments or instrument panels represented by electronically displayed images with physical overlay or masking which incorporate operable controls, must be free of quantization.
Note   Quantization, sometimes called stepping, means restraint, limitation or reduction from the scope or range of values, readings or other data that would normally be found in the relevant instrument or panel of a multi-crew aeroplane.
       1.4 If an angle of attack indicator is displayed, it must operate in correct sense.
Note   To operate in "correct sense" is an aviation expression meaning that the angle of attack increases as the aircraft approaches aerodynamic stall.
       1.5 The flight deck or cockpit seating for each FCM in the device must enable the FCM to have the optimal eye-point position.
       1.6 The flight deck or cockpit seating in the device for the instructor must enable the instructor to:
(a) provide training to each of the FCMs; and
(b) operate the device.
       1.7 Flight deck or cockpit lighting must represent that of a multi-crew aeroplane.

2 Flight dynamics model (aircraft and engines)
       The flight dynamics model of the device must be able to simulate the various combinations of drag and thrust that are normally encountered in the flight of a multi-crew aeroplane, and that give rise to changes in the following:
(a) aeroplane attitude;
(b) thrust;
(c) drag;
(d) altitude;
(e) aeroplane configuration.

3 Ground reaction and handling
       3.1The ground
