Why is this important?

ICAO 9625 Edition 3, Vol. 1 (Aeroplane) enables...
 Expansion of international standards from highest-fidelity FSTD (Type VII) to most basic type of FSTD (Type I)  Reduction of number of FSTD Types (from 20+ to 7)  FSTDs tailored to the training tasks for which they are used  Clear links between pilot licences + ratings and FSTD types  Evaluation methodology for Full Task device (Part 2) and also for Part Task device (Part 3)  Evaluation of any type or vintage of FSTD for training suitability  International harmonization (effectiveness & efficiency)
 

Same flight test cases, same QTG Consistent training capability with FSTDs

 Will facilitate mutual recognition (efficiency)  Will benefit the pilot training community

 Approx 80 delegates from 16 countries
    

Regulatory community ( > 8 countries) Industry bodies (RAeS, FSEMC, IATA, ICAO,) Pilot associations (IFALPA, ALPA,) Operators (Aircraft & FSTDs) Manufacturers (Aicraft & FSTDs)

 Many meetings, many sponsors  Industry Wide Briefings



WATS, EATS, APATS, FSEMC, RAeS, ICAO, EASA, JAA, FAA, CAAC, CASA

Largest ever FSTD industry harmonization effort Industry lead effort, estimated 10 Million Euros

Thank you

Why Did We Do it ?
Regulatory changes
 

EASA from JAA FAA Part 60

Lack of harmonization
 

Lower Level Devices Rotary wing FSTDs

New aircraft types New training types

 

MPL No clarity of FSTD

New technologies
 

Electric Motion LCOS Projectors

Regulations were increasingly out of step with technology (airplane & FSTD) and with new pilot training methodologies

Methodology Step 1 Training Task Analysis



Agreed training tasks and training types to support licence and rating requirements
 EASA/ICAO/FAA training task lists MPL1,2,3,4 IR PPL CPL CR TR RL RO Re CQ IO Multi-crew Pilot License Initial Instrument Rating Private Pilots License Commercial Pilots License Class Rating Type Rating Recurrent License (Training & Checking) Recurrent Operator (Training & Checking) Recency (Take-off and Landing) Continuing Qualification Initial Operator

Training (T) The FSTD feature fidelity levels required for each listed task that supports the training objective.

Training to Proficiency (TP) The FSTD feature fidelity levels required for each listed task that supports the training objective to proficiency and allow testing and checking towards the issue of a licence, rating, or qualification.

Methodology Step 2 - Simulation Features

Some obvious questions

 Questions
 

How do we address Part Task Trainers qualification? How does this apply to my existing Simulators?

 Answers


Use training task vs FSTD feature matrix...



To determine training task applicability based on levels of fidelity of FSTD simulation features present in your device To develop QTG document for qualification if required

 Note!


Grandfather rights are not even mentioned in ICAO 9625 as their applicability are the NAAs perogative!
