AMC1 ORO.FC.145(d) Provision of training, checking and
assessment
FULL FLIGHT SIMULATORS (FFS)
The operator should classify any differences between the aircraft and FFS in accordance with the Air Transport Association (ATA) chapters as follows:
Compliance Levels
(a) Level A differences:
(1) no influence on flight characteristics;
(2) no influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal);
(3) differences in presentation; and
(4) differences in operation.
Method: self-instruction via the operations manual or flight crew information.
(b) Level B differences:
(1) no influence on flight characteristics;
(2) influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); and
(3) possible differences in presentation and operation.
Method: flight crew information, computer-based training, system device training or special instruction by instructor.
(c) Level C differences:
(1) influence on flight characteristics;
(2) influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); and
(3) eventually differences in presentation and operation.
Method: special instruction by instructor, a selected partial training on another FSTD or aircraft or a waiver because of previous experience, special instruction or training programme.
(d) Level D differences:
(1) influence on flight characteristics; and/or
(2) influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); and/or
(3) differences in presentation and/or operation; and
(4) FSTD is level D qualified and is used for zero flight-time training (ZFTT).
Method: a specified partial training on another FSTD or aircraft or a waiver because of previous experience, special instruction or training programme.
EASA aviation regulations require operators to classify differences between aircraft and full flight simulators (FFS) into four levels (A-D). These levels dictate required pilot training methods, ranging from self-instruction to specialized simulator or aircraft training, based on the impact on flight characteristics and procedures.
