Hardware All hardware and computer components are readily available and commercial quality. The Touch Trainer hardware and software combination have been tested to ensure:  Smooth performance of the flight simulator and other software components  At least 20Hz for the flight simulator  At least 15Hz for instrumentation except where aircraft equipment has a slower update rate.  Adequate size and resolution of touch monitors. Instrument indications can be read and touch sensitive areas easily actuated.  Some text used for decoration may not be to this standard  Expansion. Future releases of software can be expected to perform adequately and additional hardware components added without major upgrading of equipment. Expansion capabilities will be somewhat limited because of cost. Software The software integrated into the TouchTrainer is classified into functional areas and described below.  Flight Simulation including aircraft performance, out of the window view (OOW) and instructor operation station (IOS). The Touch Trainer uses Laminar Researches X-Plane as its flight simulation component. Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim Touch Trainer V2.82 FlyThisSim Compliance Table for the FTS TouchTrainer Page 12  Aircraft Models. The aircraft models (.acf files) have been modified and approved for use by FTS. These models are enhanced or replaced by SimAVIO to provide additional aircraft specific electrical and navigational systems data to improve simulation fidelity. Other aircraft models should not be used. Use of a non-approved aircraft model will be detected and the user informed of the status. If this status window is displayed the training should be halted until the correct model is loaded.  Out of the Window View (OOW). The OOW field of view is approximately 45 degrees horizontal by 15 degrees vertical. With practice this is adequate for takeoff and landing but is not optimized for VFR training. Where the VX visual system option is provided the OOW view is approximately 100 * 35 degrees displayed on three monitors above the main touch screen. This allows more screen space for instrumentation on the main touch screen allowing more accurate instrument panel representations. It also extends functionality into VFR training such as; airfield ground handling and signage interpretation, cross country mission rehearsal and map interpretation. It also provides a more immersive environment and attractive training device. Out of the window views can also be displayed on 100 degrees horizontal and 70 degree vertical FOV or 200 degrees horizontal and 70 degree vertical FOV  Aircraft systems including electrical buses and distribution  The TouchTrainer enhances X-Plane to provide additional aircraft specific systems modeling of electrical busses so that the aircraft checklists can be used. However, not every component in the aircraft is modeled. This means that while electrical bus state, voltages and equipment connectivity to the busses are modeled correctly bus loads are typical and may be incorrect for ancillary equipment.  Simulation of TAA avionics systems including autopilot.  The TouchTrainer enhances or replaces the autopilot system to be an aircraft specific simulation. It provides its own modeling of reduction of vertical velocity commanded before altitude capture, leg interception and GPS glideslope capture. In particular the TouchTrainer has enhanced autopilot operation for missed approach sequences ensuring correct operation.  The TouchTrainer enhances X-Plane with a complete WAAS GPS Flight Deck simulation, FTS’s SimAVIO2 is used to provide these facilities.  Integration of hardware devices such as touch screens and aircraft facsimile hardware  X-Plane integrates to flying, trim, throttle and mixture controls  SimAVIO2 integrates to avionics control hardware.  Audio o X-Plane is used to generate aircraft environment and equipment sounds such as engine noise, wheel rumble, marker and Morse code and aerodynamic noise. o SimAVIO is used to generate all other avionics specific warning tones  Navigation Data. The following features are available:  Airspace. Class A, B, C, D and special use airspace, airports, obstacles, navigational beacons are provided in PFD and MFD map presentations. o Terrain. Terrain is represented as a Shaded Relief Map, in order to keep load times to a minimum and reduce memory requirements this data is typically half to one quarter of Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim Touch Trainer V2.82 FlyThisSim Compliance Table for the FTS TouchTrainer Page 13 the resolution in the aircraft. The effects of this can only be seen at lower map ranges when few coastal airfields may appear to be in the water. o Cultural Data. Roads, geographical boundaries coastline etc. are typical of the geographical data seen on Flight Deck equipment. Not all the geographical layers seen on specific equipment are available. o Aeronautical Data. The National Flight Database (NFD) from the FAA is used to provide airport and approach waypoint, NDB, VOR and other data. o GPS, RNAV, ILS, LOC, VOR, and NDB based approaches with GPS overlays for initial and missed approach segments. Common Components The computer system hardware and software, simulator software and Instructor and simulator controls are common to all versions of the TouchTrainer. Reconfiguration of a TouchTrainer to simulate different aircraft requires the user to load a different aircraft model file. This will change aircraft performance, instrument panel and avionics configurations. Different aircraft models may require the TouchTrainer physical controls configuration to be adjusted. Physical Control Configurations Typical arrangements of control columns, side-sticks, yokes, throttles and rudder pedals are shown below. The Touch Trainer can be easily and quickly reconfigured to simulate aircraft of different configurations. When the desktop configuration is changed the user must shut down the simulator, replace the controls and restart. Software test routines ensure that physical controls are connected correctly after reconfiguration disabling the simulator in case of a fault conditions. Where TouchTrainers have table and cockpit environments control configurations are similarly reconfigurable Yoke Vernier Throttle/Prop/Mixture, Rudder Pedals Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim Touch Trainer V2.82 FlyThisSim Compliance Table for the FTS TouchTrainer Page 14 Yoke, TPM Linear Throttles, Rudder Pedals Sidestick, Cirrus SIMPLE, Rudder Pedals Yoke, Twin FADEC Throttles, Rudder Pedals Yoke, Twin TPM/PTM, Rudder Pedals Physical Controls Within the above configurations aircraft with side-sticks, control columns, yokes, lever and Vernier throttles are supported.

Display updates must display all changes (within the total range of the replicated instrument) that are equal to or greater than the values stated below: • Airspeed indicator: change of 5 knots, • Attitude indicator: change of 2 degrees in pitch and bank, • Altimeter: change of 10 feet, • Turn and bank: change of ¼ standard rate turn, • Heading indicator: change of 2 degrees, • Vertical speed indicator (VSI): change of 100 fpm, • Tachometer: change of 25 rpm or 2 percent of turbine speed • VOR/ILS: change of 1 degree for VOR or ¼ of 1 degree for ILS, • ADF: change of 2 degrees, • GPS: change as appropriate for the model of GPS navigator represented Clock or timer: change of 1 second Yes Display update frequency is at least 15Hz (4) Displays must reflect dynamic behavior of an actual aircraft display (e.g., a VSI reading of 500 fpm must reflect a corresponding movement in altimeter, and an increase in power must reflect an increase in rpm indication or power indicator). Yes 8.e Flight Dynamics (1) Flight dynamics of the ATD should be comparable to the way the represented training aircraft performs and handles. However, there is no requirement for an ATD to have control loading to exactly replicate any particular aircraft. An air data-handling package is not required for determination of forces to simulate during the manufacturing process. Yes “TouchTrainer” provides an accurate representation of the aircraft flight characteristics for basic and instrument training. (2) Aircraft performance parameters (such as maximum speed, cruise speed, stall speed, maximum climb rate, hovering/sideward/forward/rearward flight) should be comparable to the aircraft or family of aircraft being represented. Yes (3) Aircraft vertical lift component must change as a function of bank, comparable to the way the aircraft or Yes Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim Touch Trainer V2.82 FlyThisSim Compliance Table for the FTS TouchTrainer Page 27 family of aircraft being represented performs and handles. (4) Changes in flap setting, slat setting, gear position, collective control or cyclic control must be accompanied by changes in flight dynamics, comparable to the way the aircraft or family of aircraft represented performs and handles. Yes (5) The presence and intensity of wind and turbulence must be reflected in the handling and performance qualities of the simulated aircraft and should be comparable to the way the aircraft or family of aircraft represented performs and handles. Yes 8.f Instructional Management Requirements (1) The instructor must be able to pause/freeze the system at any point for the purpose of administering instruction regarding the task. Yes Details of instructor’s controls can be found above (2) If a training session begins with the “aircraft in the air” and ready for the performance of a particular procedural task, the instructor must be able to manipulate the following system parameters independently of the simulation: • Aircraft geographic location, • Aircraft heading, • Aircraft airspeed, • Aircraft altitude, and • Wind direction, speed, and turbulence. Yes (3) The system must be capable of recording both a horizontal and vertical track of aircraft movement for later playback and review. Yes (4) The instructor must be able to disable any of the instruments prior to or during a training session, and be able to simulate failure of any of the instruments without stopping or freezing the simulation to affect the failure. Yes (5) The ATD must have at least a navigational area database that is local to the training facility to allow reinforcement of procedures learned during actual flight in that area. All navigational data must be based on procedures as published per 14 CFR part 97.
