This document will address measures pertaining to and directly associated with the maintainability and reliability of FSTDs throughout their entire life cycle, from initial specification and design to de-commissioning. Although the primary emphasis of this document is on full flight simulators (with motion and visual systems), it should be applicable in part or total to all FSTDs.

This document provides guidance on provision of SATCE systems in Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) for the benefit of flight crew training. This work builds upon that originally undertaken by International Air Transport Association (IATA) Flight Simulator Working Group in 2002, and further developed in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Doc. 9625 Vol 1, Part 2, Editions 3 and 4. This document is intended to be a practical starting point that can serve as the basis for future developments of SATCE.

Guidance for the Use of Avionics and Software in Simulators is intended to simplify the additional functions required of avionics equipment used in simulators. Recommended simulator functions, data base harmonization, use of snapshot functions, and a new training scenario are included. The guidelines contained in the draft are expected to reduce the cost to design and install avionics equipment in simulators.

This standard preserves all of the technical concepts of ARINC 610. ARINC 610A encompasses the lessons learned since ARINC 610 was issued, provides additional information defining each simulator function and the responses required by each type, and creates guidance information relevant to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA).

This standard sets forth general philosophy and design guidance for using aircraft avionics equipment in simulators. Its goal is to improve simulator training by providing a better understanding among avionics designers, simulator designers, airframe manufacturers and airline simulator users in the use of aircraft avionic equipment in flight simulators. Full flight simulator, cockpit procedure trainer, cockpit system simulator or fixed base simulator, part task trainer (e.g., flight management system trainer), and maintenance training simulator guidance is included.

The purpose of this report is to illustrate to airfield and airport authorities the need for timely, accurate information regarding actual or planned changes to the physical airfield, recognize the changes in regulatory requirements in flight training, specifically visual database elements used in simulation, identify critical data elements for designing visual databases, and describe the elements and their uses in a simulated training environment. The list and descriptions of required visual database data elements will provide guidance to airfield and airport authorities and suppliers of data regarding minimum levels of data required to accurately create and maintain a visual representation of an airfield or other aircraft operating area. The report will also be used to provide information from airfield operators and managers concerning physical changes or additions to runways, taxiways, land-side gates, and the surrounding area.

This document intends to provide the reader with an overview of the importance of export control along with general information to consider. This is not a complete primer on the subject but is intended to give the reader a basic understanding of export issues in the flight simulation and training industry. To serve the widest audience, a worldwide view is taken; however, as the U.S. regulations and requirements are considered the widest reaching, these are given the majority of attention in the text. This document does not serve the purpose of discussing Intellectual Property (IP), classified information, or specific logistics of any of these processes. However, it should be known that the concepts and tenets in this document may be applied to IP issues in very similar examples. Furthermore, this document is not all inclusive of every issue that may be evident in a technology transfer event. The intricacies of export control are complex and are not attempted to be fully defined here.

The purpose of ARINC Report 437 is to provide guidance when planning a new training facility, extending an existing training facility, or adding new equipment to an existing facility.

This document provides guidance to the flight simulation industry for the acceptance of a Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD). It may also be used during Request for Proposal (RFP) and contract discussions for an FSTD purchase to define the requirements for acceptance of the device. It is intended to be usable for all FSTD devices - types, repeat, prototype, updated, new, and used - and for different levels of qualification being sought.

The purpose of ARINC Report 436 is to provide Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) users, suppliers and regulatory authorities a set of guidelines for Electronic Qualification Test Guide (eQTG) systems. This document is intended to be supplementary to existing regulatory authority requirements. This document is not designed to direct the use of certain technologies or platforms, but to outline the minimum requirements of an eQTG system. The choice of the technology used to meet these requirements is left to the system's designers and users.

This report sets forth guidance for the design, development, and installation of Cabin Training Devices. It includes operational and handling characteristics for establishing minimum data required for reliability and maintainability.

This standard is a guide for flight training equipment operators and manufacturers to define the scope and content of support personnel training courses.

This document provides Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) operators, FSTD manufacturers, airplane manufacturers or other sources of approved data and vendors of airplane equipment, with a standard describing the scope and content of data required to build, test, and qualify FSTDs of adequate fidelity to meet flight crew training requirements.

This report defines the types of software used in FSTDs, outlines the configuration control that is required to maintain the devices, and provides guidance on software updates and changes.

The intent of this standard is to provide guidance so the documentation provided with the Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) reflects and describes the delivered FSTD, including the description and definition of third party equipment and content. In the context of documentation guidance found in this report, the term FSTD is meant to include all levels of flight simulation devices. The documentation described herein is required for the operator to independently support the FSTD in the maintenance, operation, and update of the device throughout the lifetime of the device. This report describes a superset of a possible range of documentation involved in the initial delivery or an update of a FSTD. The deliverable documentation set for a particular FSTD may vary depending on the level of device (e.g., flat panel trainer versus a full flight simulator) as well as issues related to intellectual property, export compliance, technical requirements, and/or contractual agreements.
