Prescribed qualification standards for FSTD (MCC training – aeroplane) Instrument 2015 (Edition 1)

1 Name
       This instrument is the Prescribed qualification standards for FSTD (MCC training – aeroplane) Instrument 2015 (Edition 1).

2 Commencement
       This instrument commences on the day after registration.

3 Definitions etc.
       (1) Subject to the specific definitions set out in subsection (2), in this instrument words and phrases have the same meaning as in Part 61 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR 1998).
       (2)In this instrument:
device has the same meaning as FSTD.
FCM means flight crew member.
FSTD, or device, means a flight simulation training device.
IFR means the instrument flight rules prescribed in Part 12 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988.
MCC means multi-crew cooperation.
MCC training means an approved course of training in multi-crew cooperation.
model, in relation to an FSTD, means a particular simulation functionality of the device.
Note   For example, the flight dynamics model of an FSTD is the functionality of the device to simulate the flight dynamics of a multi-crew aeroplane in a particular environment.
multi-crew aeroplane means a turbine-powered multi-engine aeroplane, that is:
(a) fitted with:
 (i) a pressurisation and oxygen system; and
 (ii) a retractable undercarriage; and
 (iii) an engine fire detection and extinguishment system; and
 (iv) a weather radar; and
(b) equipped for multi-crew operations under the IFR.
Note   The standards in this instrument are those which a device must meet to be suitable as a flight simulation training device for a multi-crew aeroplane with the systems and equipment mentioned in this definition.
no discernible latency means that any observable delay in a simulated system responding to a simulated control input is no greater than the observable delay (if any) in a multi-crew aeroplane responding to the same actual control input.
simulate means to reproduce, at least in all essential respects, the actions and reactions of a multi-crew aeroplane, and its systems and equipment, when on the ground or in flight, including associated noise, attitude, motion, and external environmental effects.
transport delay means the total computer processing time required for a simulated system to respond to a simulated control input.

4 Application
       The requirements set out in Schedule 1 are prescribed as qualification standards for an FSTD, 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.
