This manual contains the policies, procedures, performance standards and evaluation criteria used by the National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP). It’s used to evaluate and certify aeroplane and rotorcraft flight simulation training devices (FSTD) pursuant to section 606.03 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).
This information is provided to increase your safety awareness when flying in a small, chartered aircraft that does not have a flight attendant. While the pilot will provide the mandatory pre-flight passenger safety briefing, afterwards you are very much a guardian of your own safety. Although unlikely, the pilot may have to make an emergency landing. Depending on the nature of the problem, this could result in simply an inconvenience or damage to the aircraft and personal injury. You may also have to evacuate the aircraft unassisted.
To determine the ability of the aircraft avionics to simulate actual flight conditions.
The FTD shall be flown for one holding pattern, one VOR or LOC/BC, one ILS and one NDB or GPS approach.
The display at the pilot station(s) and instructor's station must be accurate and realistic
