GM1 FCL.036(b)(1) Use of FSTDs for training, testing and checking
TACTILE HARDWARE AND TOUCHSCREEN REPRESENTATION In CS-FSTD Issue 1, the term ‘tactile hardware’ is used to refer to the flight deck layout and structure feature of an FSTD in order to set out the flight deck haptic requirements of FSTDs whose flight deck instrument, panels and switches are made up of physical hardware components. CS-FSTD Issue 1 also allows the possibility to qualify FSTDs whose flight deck layout and structure feature, for fidelity levels R and G, may represent flight deck instrument, panels and switches in the form of touchscreens. Tactile hardware and touchscreen representation terminologies are used in opposition. In the context of the use of FSTDs for training, testing and checking, in general only FSTDs with tactile hardware should be used. FSTDs with touchscreen representations may be used in type rating training course for the conduct of procedure training on normal, abnormal and emergency systems in accordance with the arrangements contained in AMC1 to Appendix 9 Section A point 1f.
AMC2 FCL.110.H LAPL(H) Experience requirements and crediting
USE OF FSTDs IN LAPL(H) TRAINING (a) If an FSTD is used in accordance with the provisions of point FCL.110.H(aa), it should: (1) be qualified with an FCS or an assigned FCS in its FSTD qualification certificate; (2) have all the following features at a fidelity level that is equal to, or higher than, R (representative): (i) Flight deck layout and structure; (ii) Flight controls forces and hardware; (iii) Flight controls systems operation; (iv) Aircraft systems; (v) Performance and handling on ground; (vi) Performance and handling in ground effect; (vii) Performance and handling out of ground effect; and (3) additionally, for those training tasks requiring cueing or environment simulation features, have an adequate fidelity level for the relevant features to complete such training tasks. The Annex II to ED Decision 2026/006/R Page 2 of 25 AMC & GM to Part-FCL Issue 1, Amendment 15 determination of the adequate fidelity levels should be based on an analysis of the training needs, taking into consideration the general requirements of CS-FSTD. (b) Legacy FSTDs may be used for training in accordance with the provisions of point FCL.110.H(aa), provided that the training organisation demonstrates that the FSTD represents the type of helicopter used for the skill test, taking into consideration the technical specifications of the training device included in the qualification certificate and in the equipment specification list (ESL).
AMC1 FCL.210.H PPL(H) Experience requirements and crediting
USE OF FSTDs IN PPL(H) TRAINING The use of FSTDs in accordance with point FCL.210.H(aa)(2) should follow the content of AMC2 FCL.110.H.
AMC1 FCL.930.TRI TRI — Training course
TRI TRAINING COURSE — AEROPLANES […] (b) Content […] (3) Part 3 — Flight instruction […] (ii) Use of FSTDs […] (D) Where no FSTD exists for the type of aeroplane for which the certificate is sought, or if the FSTD is not suitable to complete all the elements of the training programme for the TRI certificate, the entire course or a part of it should be conducted in the applicable aeroplane type, and the synthetic-device elements should be replaced with appropriate exercises in the aeroplane. The assessment of competence should be performed: — when no FSTD exists, in the aeroplane; and — when not all elements of the training are completed in the FSTD, in both the aeroplane and the FSTD; this combined use of aeroplane and FSTD in the assessment of competence should reflect and be similar to the combined use of aeroplane and FSTD during the training course. Annex II to ED Decision 2026/006/R Page 3 of 25 AMC & GM to Part-FCL Issue 1, Amendment 15 (F) (D) In general, TRI training is designed to develop the competencies of a pilot to become an instructor. From this perspective, the training may be provided in several arrangements: […]
AMC2 FCL.930.TRI TRI — Training course
HELICOPTERS […] Part 3 FLIGHT INSTRUCTION SYLLABUS […] TRAINING WHERE NO FSTD EXISTS (m) Where no FSTD exists for the type for which the TRI(H) certificate is sought, a similar course of training should be conducted in the applicable helicopter type. This includes all elements listed under sub paragraphs (k)(1) and (2) of this AMC, the FSTD elements being replaced with appropriate exercises in a helicopter of the applicable type, subject to any restrictions placed on the conduct of critical exercises associated with helicopter flight manual limitations and safety considerations. SPECIFIC TRAINING: LANDING TRAINING (n) (m) [….]
AMC2 FCL.1015 Examiner standardisation
[…] (p) Before undertaking a test or check, an examiner will should verify that the aircraft or FSTD intended to be used is suitable and appropriately equipped for the test or check. In the case of FSTDs, such verification should be based on the technical specifications of the training device included in the FSTD qualification certificate and in the ESL. Aircraft that fall under points (a), (b), (c), or (d) of Annex I to the Basic Regulation can be used provided that they are subject to an authorisation as per point ORA.ATO.135 or point DTO.GEN.240.

AMC1 to Appendix 9 Section A point 1f Training, skill test and proficiency check for the MPL, and the ATPL, and for type and class ratings, and proficiency checks for the BIR and the IR
TRAINING MATRICES FOR TYPE RATING TRAINING (a) General (1) The training matrices should be used to support the design of a type rating training course in accordance with the task-to-tool methodology described in AMC5 ORA.ATO.125. (2) This AMC illustrates, for each training task, the minimum fidelity levels that, for each of its features, an FSTD with an FCS or assigned FCS should have. For each training task, the following is given: (i) T (Training): The minimum FCS or assigned FCS that an FSTD should have for the introduction of a training task. In such an FSTD, the relevant training task may be commenced and practised during a type rating course in accordance with Part-FCL, but it should not be completed to proficiency for the purpose of issuing or renewing a type rating. (ii) TP (Training to Proficiency): The minimum FCS or assigned FCS that an FSTD should have for the completion of a training task. To complete the relevant training task to proficiency, as required by Appendix 9 to Part-FCL for the purpose of issuing or renewing a type rating, such an FSTD should be used. (3) When, in accordance with AMC5 ORA.ATO.125, determining the suitability of an FSTD with an FCS or assigned FCS for the introduction, or completion to proficiency, of training tasks, the following training matrices should be used: Annex II to ED Decision 2026/006/R Page 5 of 25 AMC & GM to Part-FCL Issue 1, Amendment 15 (i) for multi-pilot aeroplanes and for single-pilot high-performance complex aeroplanes:
