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.
