SIMULATOR EVALUATION
We can review your flight simulator documentation, and give you a written report (including recommendations) on our findings:

Review requests for tender
Review requests for tender.
-
Do you understand what you want your simulator to do?
-
Does the device you are going to receive meet your demands?
-
And does your RFT properly reflect your requirement?
-
Evaluate and rank tender responses.
-
Does each tender offer a current state-of-the-art solution?
-
Does a tender offer (and quote) for elements you don’t need?

Evaluate the proposed data-set
Evaluate the proposed data-set.
-
Is the source of the data likely to be acceptable to the Regulatory Authority?
-
Is it a valid set and is it presented in a useable manner?
-
Does it reflect your operational needs? You don’t want to have data only for 40-flap landings if your crews always use 50 flap.

Review data collection plans
Review data collection plans (for situations where you need to conduct data-gathering flights to acquire or supplement the data needed to model the simulator).
- Does the plan cover all necessary test points? Is the spread of weight/CG/configuration/speed/altitude adequate? Is there proper redundancy of test points?
- Does the flight test crew understand the special requirements of simulator data-gathering? It isn’t the same as conventional flight testing.

Evaluate the proposed ATG/IQTG
Evaluate the proposed ATG/IQTG.
-
Is there a full set of valid tests?
-
Is the reference data for the tests the same as the approved data? (Sounds obvious, but we find differences).
Simulinc has conducted the Initial Accreditation/Evaluation of the Australian and NZ Defence Force Flight Simulators. These include:
Full Flight Simulators;
B707, C130H, C130J, P3C, B737 Wedgetail, S70A-9 Black Hawk Helicopter, ARH Tiger Helicopter, MRH-90 Taipan Helicopter,
MH-60 Romeo, EC 135, Sh-2 Sea Sprite Helicopter.
Flight Training Devices;
ARH Tiger Helicopter, F/A-18F Super Hornet, Hawk, T6-C.
Simulinc can now add two more Initial Evaluations to their number. The NZDF SH-2G(I) Sea Sprite FMFS and the NZDF T-6C Texan FTD.
Simulinc continues to ensure the ongoing compliance of ADF devices through the Recurrent Checking process.
REVIEW FLIGHT SIMULATOR PROOF-OF-TEST RESULTS
Review flight simulator proof-of-test results before submission to the Regulatory Authority.
Are there discrepancies in initial conditions or procedures? If so, results which appear to be within tolerance will not be accepted as a pass.
If there is a test which cannot be brought within tolerance, are there grounds to seek a waiver and/or expansion of the tolerance? If so, we can help present your case.
