##### AMC1 ORA.FSTD.120 Equipment specification list *ED Decision 2026/006/R* **OVERVIEW OF AN EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION LIST** (a) The ESL should include complete information regarding the FSTD in terms of simulated aircraft make, model, series, engines, avionics, flight controls systems, flight instruments, radio communications, navigation systems, electronic flight bag, and any other installed equipment. (b) The ESL is a summary of the capabilities and technical details of the FSTD and provides information to FSTD users (training organisations, AOC holders, examiners, others) to determine the adequacy of the FSTD for the intended training, testing or checking. The ESL should be sufficiently detailed to allow: (1) the FSTD users to determine the suitability of the FSTD for training, testing and checking, and to define where the real aircraft may differ from the aircraft simulated by the FSTD; (2) the competent authority to review the ESL compliance with point [ORA.FSTD.120](#_DxCrossRefBm2072462880) during the evaluations of the FSTD. (c) The organisation operating the FSTD should verify and validate each entry (equipment, capabilities, specifications) of the ESL. Each entry is a declaration that the feature/equipment or capability has been fully tested and complies with its qualification basis: (1) during the acceptance testing prior to the initial evaluation in accordance with the management system of the organisation; and (2) on an ongoing basis in accordance with point [ORA.FSTD.105](#_DxCrossRefBm2072462897). (d) All applicable equipment and any features necessary to support each approach capability should be validated prior to inclusion in the ESL (e.g. visual scene content, FMS capabilities, installed aircraft equipment, terrain databases (validity and coverage), terrain feedback and navigation aids). (e) Maintaining the ESL should include measures to update it to accurately represent the installed equipment, capabilities and specifications at all times. The ESL should be subject to management of modifications in accordance with point [ORA.FSTD.110](#_DxCrossRefBm2072462921). (f) The organisation operating the FSTD should sufficiently describe in the ESL the databases available for training, testing or checking (i.e. type of database, name and coverage area). Database revisions (such as visual database/models, regular AIRAC-28 cycle updates to FMS or GNSS receiver, obstacle, terrain database, etc.) do not need to be included in the ESL, unless they are significant to the operation or functionality of the FSTD or relevant to the users. (g) For each entry made in the ESL, any associated limitation should be stated together with that entry. *[applicable from 30 April 2028 — ED Decision 2026/006/R]*
