UPRT Scenarios and IOS Feedback Mechanism:	Status	Comment
☐ The minimum set of required maneuvers has been evaluated to ensure that the combination of angle of attack and sideslip does not exceed the range of flight test validated data or wind tunnel/analytical data while performing the recovery maneuver and is available on the IOS including: A nose-high, wings level aircraft upset. A nose-low, wings level aircraft upset. A high bank angle aircraft upset. Optional: The following additional upset scenarios have been evaluated and are available on the IOS: ☐ Other:       ☐ Other:       Note: “Maneuver” based training focuses on a single event in isolation. “Scenario” based training incorporates maneuvers into a real-world experience to cultivate flying skills in an operational environment.
☐ At least one of the upset recovery maneuvers requires angles of attack above the stall warning system activation. Therefore, the aerodynamic model meets the requirements for high angle of attack modeling as described in Table A1A (2m.). Qualification for the Full Stall training task is required.
IOS Feedback Mechanism ☐ This FSTD meets the Instructor Operating System (IOS) requirements for Upset Recovery and Prevention Training (UPRT) tasks as described in Table A1A(2n.) and Attachment 7. The feedback mechanism includes: FSTD validation envelope. This must be in the form of an alpha/beta envelope (or equivalent method) depicting the “confidence level” of the aerodynamic model depending on the degree of flight validation or source of predictive methods The envelopes must provide the instructor real-time feedback on the simulation during a maneuver. There must be a minimum of a flaps up and flaps down envelope available. The validation envelope was derived by the aerodynamic data provider, or by using information from the provider; Flight control positions. The instructor must be able to assess the pilot’s flight control inputs during the upset recovery maneuver as required. It must include rudder pedal displacement and control forces as well as the primary control channels (including fly-by-wire as appropriate). Required additional parameters and time history (or equivalent) are presented; and Airplane operational limits. Real-time aircraft operating limits must be displayed during the maneuver as applicable for the configuration of the airplane. Required minimum parameters and time history (or equivalent) are presented. ** An exemplar IOS utility is of practical size and format, allows simultaneous viewing of the parameters noted above, and provides the instructor clear indications of FSTD envelope and aircraft load exceedances. Instructors should be well versed in its use and where possible, have input in the design.
Compliance Statement: ☐ An SOC is attached that: Defines the source data used to construct the FSTD validation envelope. Verifies that each upset prevention and recovery feature programmed at the instructor station and the associated training maneuver has been evaluated by a suitably qualified pilot using methods described in Table A1A (2n). Confirms the recovery maneuver can be performed such that the FSTD does not exceed the FSTD validation envelope, or when exceeded, that it is within the realm of confidence in the simulation accuracy.

☐ An SOC is attached that describes: The expected aircraft specific recognition cues and degradation effects due to a typical in-flight icing encounter. This description is based upon relevant source data identified in the SOC such as aircraft OEM supplied data, accident/incident data, or other acceptable data sources. The data sources utilized to develop the qualified ice accretion models. Acceptable data sources may be, but are not limited to, flight test data, aircraft certification data, aircraft OEM engineering simulation data, or other analytical methods based upon established engineering principles. This airframe has demonstrated vulnerabilities to a specific type of ice accretion (due to accident/incident history) which requires specific training (i.e. supercooled large-droplet icing or tailplane icing). Ice accretion models have been developed that address the training requirements. Identify Specific Icing Type Here
Objective Testing Requirements: Objective demonstration in Appendix A, Table A2A, Item 2.i. is not required for FSTDs initially qualified PRIOR to Part 60 effective May 30, 2016 (IAW FSTD Directive 2). ☐ An objective demonstration of engine and airframe icing effects has not been provided IAW FSTD Directive 2. ☐ The sponsor has elected to provide the attached objective demonstration of engine and airframe icing effects IAW 14 CFR Part 60 Appx. A, Table A2A (2i).
