Prescribed Qualification Standards for FSTD (MCC Training — Helicopter) Instrument 2019 (Edition 1)

1 Name
       This instrument is the Prescribed Qualification Standards for FSTD (MCC Training — Helicopter) Instrument 2019 (Edition 1).

2 Commencement
       This instrument commences on the day after it is registered.

3 Definitions etc.
       (1) In this instrument words and phrases have the same meaning as in Part 61 of CASR.
       (2)Without affecting subsection (1), in this instrument:
CAR means the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988.
CASR means the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998.
device has the same meaning as FSTD.
FCM means flight crew member.
FSTD, or device, means a flight simulation training device.
HLS means helicopter landing site.
IFR means the instrument flight rules.
IMC means instrument meteorological conditions.
latency means the additional time for an FSTD to respond to a control input, that is beyond the basic perceivable time for an actual helicopter to respond to the same input.
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 helicopter in a particular environment.
multi-crew helicopter means a turbine-powered multi-engine helicopter that meets all of the following requirements:
(a) is equipped for multi-crew operations under the IFR;
(b) can simulate an engine failure, during the take-off, en route and landing phases of an operation, in a way that is identifiable by an FCM;
(c) has appropriate checklists and procedures describing what an FCM must do in order to manage such an engine failure.
Note   The standards in this instrument are those which a device must meet to be suitable as an FSTD for MCC training for a multi-crew helicopter as defined. The standards are for simulations generic to a turbine-powered multi-engine helicopter that meets the requirements mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c). The standards are not otherwise helicopter-type specific. The effect of the definition of a multi-crew helicopter is that the device must be capable of: simulating an engine failure and its consequences in a range of circumstances; and simulating the effects of FCM inputs to manage the engine failure.
simulate means to reproduce, at least in all essential respects, the generic actions and reactions of a multi-crew helicopter, and its systems and equipment, when on the ground or in flight, including
