GM5 SIMD.200 Determination of the scope of the validation source
data
ED Decision 2014/033/R
(a) The definition of the scope of the validation source data (VSD) to be used as validation data (VD) in the master qualification test guide (MQTG) should be provided through a validation data roadmap (VDR).
(b) The VDR should clearly identify the sources of the data for all the required tests. It should also provide information on the validity of that data. For example, the VDR for a specific engine type and thrust/power rating configuration should include the revision levels of all the avionics that affect the aircraft handling qualities and performance and/or navigation equipment capabilities and performances (for example, localiser performance with vertical guidance (LPV) approaches).
The VDR should also include justifications/rationales for:
—
cases
where data or parameters are missing (in such cases, engineering simulation
data may be used);
—
cases
where flight test methods require explanation; or
—
other
comparable cases,
together
with a brief description of the cause/effect of any deviation from the data
requirements.
Furthermore,
the applicable aircraft configuration that affects the specification of the
FSTD should be identified.
The VDR
should also define and provide data for aircraft weight and balance
configurations, as well as other properties for which an FSTD “Statement of Compliance”
(SoC) is required (i.e. weight and balance terms such as ‘light’, ‘heavy’,
‘medium’, ‘AFT CG’, ‘FWD CG’, etc.).
More guidance on the VDR is available in the following documents:
— CS-FSTD(A) or (H) (see Appendix 2 to AMC1 FSTD(A).300 ‘Validation data roadmap’ and Appendix 2 to AMC1 FSTD(H).300 ‘Validation data roadmap’;
— ICAO Document 9625 ‘Manual of Criteria for the Qualification of Flight Simulation Training Devices, Vol I and II, Attachment D, as amended; and
— ARINC 450 ‘FLIGHT SIMULATOR DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE DATA’.
(c) As part of its configuration control process, the data provider maintains and publishes a list of approved VDRs under CS-SIMD per aircraft type.

Simulator validation requires a validation data roadmap (VDR) detailing data sources, validity, and justifications for deviations or missing parameters. The VDR must define aircraft configurations, weight, balance, and properties for compliance. Data providers maintain approved VDR lists per aircraft type, ensuring accurate flight simulator training device specifications.
