operations at no fewer than 5 different, specific, real-world, aerodromes that support 2D and 3D instrument approach operations.

11 Atmosphere and weather environment
       11.1The device must be able to simulate the following as they would affect a multi‑crew aeroplane:
(a) the international standard atmosphere;
(b) instrument meteorological conditions (IMC);
(c) icing conditions;
(d) surface wind speed, including direction;
(e) turbulence.
       11.2The visual display must be capable of adjustment to produce changes to cloud base and visibility during a simulated operation.

    12 Airports and terrain
       12.1The navigation database of a device must contain correct terrain modelling and runway orientation for simulated operations at aerodromes.
       12.2Each terrain model must reflect correct Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) activation for each training scenario in which a warning is designed to be activated.
       12.3During simulated take-off and landing, the visual system must have cues to enable the trainee to assess the following:
(a) sink rate;
(b) depth perception;
(c) rate of acceleration or deceleration.
       12.4For subclause 12.3, the cues must include cues for the following:
(a) the surface on runways, taxiways and ramps;
(b) terrain features;
(c) surface depiction of terrain within an area of 400 m around a runway used for a take-off, approach or landing.
       12.5 The simulated visual environment attitude must provide an accurate portrayal of the horizon as it would be displayed on a multi-crew aeroplane's attitude indicator.
       12.6 The visual system must include representative scenery for at least 3 different, specific, real-world, aerodromes as they each appear in daylight, twilight and night illumination.
       12.7 With daylight illumination:
(a) each of the 3 aerodromes must be visible for a simulated straight-in approach from a distance of at least 10 nautical miles (NMs); and
(b) the associated runway or runways must be visible from a distance of at least 5 NM.
       12.8 The visual system must provide full colour presentations and surfaces with textural cues to simulate:
(a) a visual approach and landing; and
(b) taxi operations on the ground.
       12.9 The visual system must have sufficient capacity to display simultaneously moving objects.
       12.10 The visual system must simulate the twilight visual scene, with full colour presentations of reduced ambient intensity and typical terrain that would be illuminated by a multi-crew aeroplane's lights in:
(a) ground taxiing; and
(b) take-off; and
(c) visual approach and landing.
       12.11 For a simulated ground taxi operation and visual approach and landing, scenes in the visual system must include self-illuminated objects such as roads, ramp lighting and airport signage.
       12.12 The visual system must have a definable horizon that is synchronised with the artificial horizon displayed on the instrumentation of the device, with no discernible latency.
       12.13 The visual system must provide night visual scenes without
