Note Restrictions/Limitations

Verify LVTO capability

Verify simulation capability of appropriateEuropean weather minima:CAT I- 550m RVR, 200ft DHCAT II-300m RVR, 100ft DHCAT III as appropriate for aircraftCategory I, II, III (as applicable) InstrumentApproaches demonstrated at an European Airport

Verify availability and correctness of the data forat least one of the European airfield:

- Correct navigation/communicationfrequencies;

- ILS/DME at threshold;- NDBs;- ATIS broadcasts in European units,

correct European terminology andappropriate local accent;

- Category C airfields (Special UseAirports);

- Appropriate airfield charts;- Lighting;- Signage;- Layout, taxi routes and off-runway pre-

positions;- LVO including off-runway taxiing

Verify applicability of SI units:

- Weight in Kilogrammes ;- Fuel Quantity in Litres/kilogrammes ;- QFE/QNH in mbs/Hpa ;- RVR in metres;- Visibility in Kilometres;- Temperatures in Centigrade

Verify that the Instructor operating Station (IOS)indications conform to International Standard (SI)

of units of measurementSample the differences, considering the following:


APP 9.18-2


3/5


- FAA/JAA/CAA Standard (Significantdifferences were defined as SpecialConditions);

- Specific Modifications e.g. stallprotection;

- Overspeed warnings;- Performance standards;- Instrument layout and units;- FMS data base configuration, content

and units

Verify that the aircraft configuration conforms to aEuropean Standard

Record the simulator first entry into service

Review the simulator evaluation data.Verify the following:Date of evaluation and date of previous evaluation, Type ofevaluation: initial, annual recurrent, special, Evaluation teem,Completed Evaluation report, Confirmation of compliance withthe JAA/EASA Special Conditions. Where Flight Test data is

not available the basis of the validation data should be clearlystated.

Review specified training programmes:Type Rating course, Differences training, Zero Flight TimeTraining, Type Rating Instructor course, Synthetic FlightInstructor Course, Multi-Crew Co-operation course.

Check the Secondary Escape Path(In an emergency this can become jammed. The incorporationof a secondary exit means, normally a kick-out panel in thedoor, is strongly recommended)

Check the installation of the Fifth Seat(Inclusion of a fifth seat is strongly recommended. This maybe a removable installation that is shared in-between anumber of devices. Requirement is part of JAR-STD 1A,

Amendment 3 standard).

Check Secure Cockpit Door(Strong recommendation that a representative control paneland representative communication capability (cabin crewvoice and chimes) are incorporated)
