Flight Engineer FAA-S-8081-21Appendix 1-1 TASK VS. SIMULATION DEVICE CREDIT Examiners conducting flight engineer practical tests with simulation devices should consult appropriate documentation to ensure that the device has been approved for training and checking the TASKS in question. The documentation for each device should reflect that the following activities have occurred:
1. The device must be evaluated, determined to meet the appropriate standards, and assigned the appropriate qualification level by the National Simulator Program Manager. The device must continue to meet the qualification standards through continuing evaluations as outlined in the appropriate advisory circular (AC). For aircraft flight training devices (FTD’s), AC 120-45 (as amended), Airplane Flight Training Device Qualification, will be used. For simulators, AC 120-40 (as amended), Airplane Simulator Qualification, will be used.
2. The FAA must approve the device for specific TASKS.
3. The device must continue to support the level of student or applicant performance required by this practical test standard.
