COMPARISON OF FAA AND JAA GENERAL SIMULATOR REQUIREMENTS FOR SIMULATORS QUALIFIED
UNDER AC 120-40B AND JAR-STD 1A AMENDMENT 2
Note: “Tests required” as used in AC 120-40B Appendix 1 has two meanings: first, that the simulator’s performance must be
documented in the particular area -- this is not to be confused with “objective testing” (which compares sim performance with
aircraft performance.) With respect to such documentation, the FAA requires that the QTG contain the associated parameters
(e.g., how was the simulator set up; under what conditions; what sequence of application was used; etc.) and the performance
results recorded in the QTG for future reference in this area. “Tests required” may also indicate that there are objective tests
associated with the item, which are described in appendix 2. This is the same approach taken by the ICAO Manual and JAR-STD
1A, AMT. 2, AMC 1A.030 par. 2.
Note: This chart provides information on the differences between simulator requirements used for the initial qualification by the
FAA of simulators prior to the 1996 draft AC 120-40C and JAA JAR-STD 1A Amendment 2.

C&D, 150] msecs of the time, but not before the time, when the
airplane would respond under the same conditions. Visual scene
changes from steady state disturbance shall occur within the system
dynamic response limit of 150/300 [A&B 300 msecs, C&D, 150]
msecs but not before the resultant motion onset. The test to
determine compliance with these requirements should include
simultaneously recording the analog output from the pilot’s control
column, wheel, and pedals, the output from an accelerometer
attached to the motion system platform located at an acceptable
location near the pilots’ seats, the output signal to the pilots’ seats,
the output signal to the visual system display (including visual
system analog delays), and the output signal to the pilot’s attitude
indicator or an equivalent test approved by the Administrator. The
test results in a comparison of a recording of the sim’s response to
actual airplane response data in the takeoff, cruise, and landing
configuration. The intent is to verify that the simulator system
transport delays or time lags are less than 150/300 msecs and that the
motion and visual cues relate to actual airplane responses. For
airplane response, acceleration in the appropriate rotational axis is
preferred.
v. CONTINUED ….
As an alternative, a transport delay test may be used to demonstrate

that the simulator system does not exceed the specified limit of
150/300 msecs. This test shall measure all the delay encountered by
a step signal migrating from the pilots’ control through the control
loading electronics and interfacing through all the simulation
software modules in the correct order, using a handshaking protocol,
finally through the normal output interfaces to the motion system, to
the visual system and instrument displays. A recordable start time
for the test should be provided by a pilot flight control input. The
test mode shall permit normal computation time to be consumed and
shall not alter the flow of information through the hardware/software

the control input and the individual hardware responses. It need only

content to recognize airport, terrain, and major landmarks around the
airport and to successfully accomplish a visual landing. The daylight
visual scene must be part of a total daylight cockpit environment
which at least represents the amount of light in the cockpit on an
overcast day.
Daylight visual system is defined as a visual system capable of

producing, as a minimum, full color presentations, scene content
comparable in detail to that produced by 4,000 edges, or 1,000
surfaces for daylight and
4,000 light points for night and dusk scenes, 6 foot-lamberts of light
measured at the pilot’s eye position (highlight brightness), 3 arc-
minutes resolution for the field of view at the pilot’s eye, and a
display which is free of apparent quantization and other distracting
visual effects while the simulator is in motion.
The simulator cockpit ambient lighting shall be dynamically

consistent with the visual scene displayed. For daylight scenes, such
ambient lighting shall neither ‘washout’ the displayed visual scene
nor fall below 5 foot-lamberts of light as reflected from an approach
plate at knee height at the pilot’s station and/or 2 foot-lamberts of
light as reflected from the pilot’s face. All brightness and resolution
requirements must be validated by an objective tests and will be
retested at least yearly by the NSPM. Testing may be accomplished
more frequently if there are indications that the performance is
degrading on an accelerated basis. Compliance of the brightness
capability may be demonstrated with a test pattern of white light
using a spot photometer.
Visual system, continued 2.3 SAME AS 40B NONE

1) Contrast ratio. A raster drawn test pattern filling the entire visual
scene (three or more channels) shall consist of a matrix of black and
white squares no larger than 10 deg and no smaller than 5 deg per
square with a white square in the middle of each channel.
Measurement shall be made on the center bright square for each
channel using a 1 deg. spot photometer. This value shall have a
minimum brightness of 2 foot-lamberts. Measure any adjacent dark
squares. The contrast ratio is the bright square value divided by dark
square value.
Minimum test contrast ratio result is 5:1.
Note: Cockpit ambient light levels should be maintained at Level D
(Phase III) reqts.
2) Highlight brightness test. Maintaining the full test pattern
described above, superimpose a highlight area completely covering
the center white square of each channel and measure the brightness
using the 1 degree spot photometer. Light points or light point arrays
are not acceptable. Use of calligraphic capabilities to enhance raster
brightness is acceptable.
3) Resolution will be demonstrated by a test pattern of objects shown
to occupy a visual angle of 3 arc-minutes in the visual scene from the
pilot’s eye point. This should be confirmed by calculations in the
statement of compliance.
4) Light point size -- not greater than 6 arc-minutes measured in a
test pattern consisting of a single row of light points reduced in
length until modulation is just discernible, a row of 40 lights will
form a 4 degree angle or less.
5) Light point contrast ratio -- not less than 25:1 when a square of at
least 1 degree filled (i.e., light point modulation is just discernible)
with light points is compared to the adjacent background.
