GUIDANCE FOR FLIGHT TRAINING DEVICE DOCUMENTATION STRUCTURE, CONTENT, AND MAINTENANCE ARINC446

The intent of this standard is to provide guidance so the documentation provided with the Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) reflects and describes the delivered FSTD, including the description and definition of third party equipment and content. In the context of documentation guidance found in this report, the term FSTD is meant to include all levels of flight simulation devices. The documentation described herein is required for the operator to independently support the FSTD in the maintenance, operation, and update of the device throughout the lifetime of the device. This report describes a superset of a possible range of documentation involved in the initial delivery or an update of a FSTD. The deliverable documentation set for a particular FSTD may vary depending on the level of device (e.g., flat panel trainer versus a full flight simulator) as well as issues related to intellectual property, export compliance, technical requirements, and/or contractual agreements.
