Phase 1 – adopt types I to IV
Phase 2 – adopt types V to VII
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

2006-2009 Aeroplane IWG Effort
 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

Also the RAeS Aeroplane FSTD Evaluation Handbook
 Volume 1 – Objective
Testing


Revision 4 will align with
ICAO 9625 rev. 3.
Available soon, in 2009.
 Volume 2 - Function

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
