3
Background to FSTD A

• JAR-STD 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A covering FFS, FTD, FNPT
  and BITD had been developed by different groups
  at different times
• This resulted in a number of inconsistencies
  between the technical standards, the processes
  and the presentation of the four documents.

4
Background to FSTD A

• JAR-STD 1A was most fully developed and was,
  therefore, used as the basis for the new
  requirement.
• The collective Term STD is replaced by FSTD,
  Flight Simulation Training Device
• The Term Flight Simulator is replaced by FFS,
  Full Flight Simulator
• These new Terms are chosen to align with the
  FAA/JAA revised Terminology

5
Background to FSTD A

• Appendix 1 to JAR-FSTD A.030 combines the
  Standards for all Types and Levels into a single
  table
• ACJ 1 to JAR-FSTD A.030 combines the Objective /
  Functions and Subjective Testing Requirements for
  all Types and Levels into two Tables

6
Background to FSTD A

• Limited Changes ensure previous Texts from
  JAR-STD 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A are now unified
• In parallel, the Standards for Helicopter STDs
  have been combined in a JAR-FSTD H Document
  (NPA-STD 12)

7
Background to FSTD A

• The Standards for all types of Device remain
  unchanged
• The STD Standards were reviewed to ensure
  compliance with JAR 11
• Regulatory Process for Qualifying STDs was
  aligned with current best practice

8
Background to FSTD A

• Regulatory Impact Assessment
• No Impact on Safety
• No Economic Impact
• No environmental or social impact
• A positive impact on Harmonisation

Comment Review

• Initial consultation with interested parties took
  place during development NPA.
• NPA-STD 11 went out for a formal public comment
  period of two months in October 2005.
• 347 comments were received against NPA-STD 11.

10
Comment Review

• Comments reviewed by a group with members from
  Authorities, simulator manufacturers, simulator
  operators and specialist consultants.
• Review included consultation with FSTD H group to
  ensure consistency.

11
Comment Response Document

• Over 50 of comments accepted
• Accepted comments covered errors in translation
  from existing standards, typographical and
  formatting errors or sought clarification of
  existing standards
• Declined comments included a large proportion
  that proposed a change in technical standards

12
Comment Response Document

• Completed Comment Response Document and final
  revised version of FSTD A delivered to CJAA on 11
  April 2006

13
Harmonisation with NPA-STD 12

• Prior to submission of revised FSTD A, a review
  of consistency with FSTD H was carried out.
• Section 1 of the two requirements are identical
  with exception of different dates for
  implementation of Grandfather Rights.
• Section 2, Terminology, Process and Quality
  System material identical.

14
Harmonisation with NPA-STD 12

• Technical standards consistent, as far as
  possible, within the constraints of the different
  operational and training needs of aeroplanes and
  helicopters.
• Guidance and interpretative material standardised
  as far as possible.

15
Outstanding Work

• Experience with current standards has identified
  a number of shortcomings.
• Several comments submitted proposing a change in
  technical standard.
• A number of comments considered valid.

16
Outstanding Work

• Document to be prepared, based on comments,
  identifying areas of FSTD A where future revision
  to the requirements may be justified.
• Document to provide justification for change.
• Document to be submitted through JAR-STD StG at
  June meeting, for future rulemaking activity by
  JAA/EASA.
