Hardware

All hardware and computer components are readily available and commercial quality. The Touch

Trainer hardware and software combination have been tested to ensure:

Smooth performance of the flight simulator and other software components

At least 20Hz for the flight simulator

At least 15Hz for instrumentation except where aircraft equipment has a slower update rate.

Adequate size and resolution of touch monitors. Instrument indications can be read and touch

sensitive areas easily actuated.

Some text used for decoration may not be to this standard

Expansion. Future releases of software can be expected to perform adequately and additional

hardware components added without major upgrading of equipment. Expansion capabilities

will be somewhat limited because of cost.

Software The software integrated into the TouchTrainer is classified into functional areas and described

below.

Flight Simulation including aircraft performance, out of the window view (OOW) and instructor

operation station (IOS). The Touch Trainer uses Laminar Researches X-Plane as its flight

simulation component.

Page 12: Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim ......2016/03/30  · Enhanced electrical modeling of aircraft busses ensuring electrical and avionics systems integrate as

Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim Touch Trainer V2.82

FlyThisSim Compliance Table for the FTS TouchTrainer Page 12

Aircraft Models. The aircraft models (.acf files) have been modified and approved for use by

FTS. These models are enhanced or replaced by SimAVIO to provide additional aircraft specific

electrical and navigational systems data to improve simulation fidelity. Other aircraft models

should not be used. Use of a non-approved aircraft model will be detected and the user

informed of the status. If this status window is displayed the training should be halted until the

correct model is loaded.

Out of the Window View (OOW). The OOW field of view is approximately 45 degrees horizontal

by 15 degrees vertical. With practice this is adequate for takeoff and landing but is not

optimized for VFR training. Where the VX visual system option is provided the OOW view is

approximately 100 * 35 degrees displayed on three monitors above the main touch screen. This

allows more screen space for instrumentation on the main touch screen allowing more accurate

instrument panel representations. It also extends functionality into VFR training such as; airfield

ground handling and signage interpretation, cross country mission rehearsal and map

interpretation. It also provides a more immersive environment and attractive training device.

Out of the window views can also be displayed on 100 degrees horizontal and 70 degree vertical

FOV or 200 degrees horizontal and 70 degree vertical FOV

Aircraft systems including electrical buses and distribution

The TouchTrainer enhances X-Plane to provide additional aircraft specific systems modeling of

electrical busses so that the aircraft checklists can be used. However, not every component in

the aircraft is modeled. This means that while electrical bus state, voltages and equipment

connectivity to the busses are modeled correctly bus loads are typical and may be incorrect for

ancillary equipment.

Simulation of TAA avionics systems including autopilot.

The TouchTrainer enhances or replaces the autopilot system to be an aircraft specific simulation.

It provides its own modeling of reduction of vertical velocity commanded before altitude

capture, leg interception and GPS glideslope capture. In particular the TouchTrainer has

enhanced autopilot operation for missed approach sequences ensuring correct operation.

The TouchTrainer enhances X-Plane with a complete WAAS GPS Flight Deck simulation, FTS’s

SimAVIO2 is used to provide these facilities.

Integration of hardware devices such as touch screens and aircraft facsimile hardware

X-Plane integrates to flying, trim, throttle and mixture controls

SimAVIO2 integrates to avionics control hardware.

Audio

o X-Plane is used to generate aircraft environment and equipment sounds such as engine

noise, wheel rumble, marker and Morse code and aerodynamic noise.

o SimAVIO is used to generate all other avionics specific warning tones

Navigation Data. The following features are available:

Airspace. Class A, B, C, D and special use airspace, airports, obstacles, navigational beacons are

provided in PFD and MFD map presentations.

o Terrain. Terrain is represented as a Shaded Relief Map, in order to keep load times to a

minimum and reduce memory requirements this data is typically half to one quarter of

Page 13: Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim ......2016/03/30  · Enhanced electrical modeling of aircraft busses ensuring electrical and avionics systems integrate as

Qualification and Approval Guide (QAG) for the FlyThisSim Touch Trainer V2.82

FlyThisSim Compliance Table for the FTS TouchTrainer Page 13

the resolution in the aircraft. The effects of this can only be seen at lower map ranges

when few coastal airfields may appear to be in the water.

o Cultural Data. Roads, geographical boundaries coastline etc. are typical of the

geographical data seen on Flight Deck equipment. Not all the geographical layers seen

on specific equipment are available.

o Aeronautical Data. The National Flight Database (NFD) from the FAA is used to provide

airport and approach waypoint, NDB, VOR and other data.

o GPS, RNAV, ILS, LOC, VOR, and NDB based approaches with GPS overlays for initial and

missed approach segments.

Common Components

The computer system hardware and software, simulator software and Instructor and simulator controls

are common to all versions of the TouchTrainer. Reconfiguration of a TouchTrainer to simulate different

aircraft requires the user to load a different aircraft model file. This will change aircraft performance,

instrument panel and avionics configurations. Different aircraft models may require the TouchTrainer

physical controls configuration to be adjusted.

Physical Control Configurations Typical arrangements of control columns, side-sticks, yokes, throttles and rudder pedals are shown

below.

The Touch Trainer can be easily and quickly reconfigured to simulate aircraft of different configurations. When the desktop configuration is changed the user must shut down the simulator, replace the controls and restart. Software test routines ensure that physical controls are connected correctly after reconfiguration disabling the simulator in case of a fault conditions. Where TouchTrainers have table and cockpit environments control configurations are similarly reconfigurable

Section 8. FlyThisSim TouchTrainer BATD Design Criteria

Ref Requirement Compliant Notes 8.a Controls

(1) Physical flight and aircraft system controls should be recognizable as to their function and how they are to be

manipulated solely from their appearance. Physical flight

and aircraft system controls eliminate the use of interfaces such as a keyboard, mouse, or gaming joystick to control

the represented aircraft model in simulated flight.

Yes FTS TouchTrainer can be operated entirely through the use of touch screens and other physical flight and aircraft system controls. The touch screens allow immediate recognition of controls through the display of photo realistic images. Manipulation is natural and obvious.

(2) For the purposes of this AC, virtual control is any input device to control aspects of the simulation (such as

setting aircraft configuration, location, and weather) and

to program, pause, or freeze the device. Virtual controls

should be primarily for the instructor’s use.

Yes Instructor’s controls are described in the accompanying document:

“TouchTrainer: System Description”

(3) Except for setup and/or fault mode entry, neither the

keyboard nor the mouse may be used to set or position any

feature of the BATD in the represented aircraft for the

maneuvers or flight training to be accomplished. See the

control requirements listed below for necessary equipment

as applicable to the aircraft model represented. The pilot

must operate the additional equipment needed in order to

accomplish a training procedure as listed in this appendix

in the same manner in which it would be operated in the

represented aircraft. For example, landing gear, wing

flaps, cowl flaps, carburetor heat control, and mixture,

propeller, and throttle controls.

Yes All pilot operated controls are actuated by touch screen except for elevator, aileron, rudder, elevator, aileron and rudder trim, throttle, and mixture controls. In all cases manipulation is natural and obvious.

(4) The physical arrangement, appearance, and operation

of controls, instruments, and switches required by this

appendix should model at least one aircraft in the family

of aircraft represented as closely as practicable.

Manufacturers are expected to use their best efforts to

recreate the appearance, arrangement, operation, and

function of realistically placed physical switches and other

required controls representative of a generic aircraft

instrument panel that includes at least the following:

• Master/battery;

• Magnetos for each engine (as applicable);

• Alternators for each engine; • Fuel boost pumps for each engine;

• Avionics master;

• Pitot heat; and • Rotating beacon/strobe, navigation, taxi, and

landing lights.

Yes The appearance and arrangement of all controls for the aircraft simulated can be found in the accompanying

document: “TouchTrainer: System Description”

These items are operated by touch screen where they are represented ‘as aircraft’.

(5) When an FAA-approved BATD is in use, only the software package evaluated and approved by the FAA may be loaded for use to avoid negative impact on

available system resources. This may require a separate

user profile for ATD operation.

Yes The TouchTrainer uses a separate profile for operation

8.b Control Requirements

8.c Control Inputs

(1) Time from control input to recognizable system

response (transport delay) must be 300 milliseconds or

less. The manufacturer listed in the approval guide

submitted for FAA approval must certify to this standard.

Yes Maximum transport delay is calculated as 2*X-Plane iteration period (33msec) + 1*SimAVIO iteration period (66msec) + 2*screen refresh period (18msec).

Maximum Transport Delay is: 2*33 +66 +2* 18= 168 milliseconds

(2) The control inputs must be tested by the computer and

software at each start-up and displayed as a confirmation

message or a warning message that the transport delay

time or any design parameter is out of original tolerances.

This test should consider the items listed under “Display

Yes The TouchTrainer Supervisor program tests control inputs and displays a confirmation message as required.
