29 section page 29 of 39 6 Description of Simulation 6.1 Aerodynamic and Performance The aerodynamic flight simulation will widely reproduce the flight characteristics of a single engine high performance aircraft. The simulation of the flight performance is based on an accurate mathematic model. Full consideration is given to all variable surfaces and their effects. Simulation does include: Variation of aircraft longitudinal, lateral and directional stability with altitude, airspeed and gross weight Stall characteristics Ground handling characteristics Wind Effects The effect of wind from any direction, at speeds from zero to sixty knots is realistically simulated and controlled by the instructor. The wind does show the correct effect on the ground track display during in-flight operation of the Elite evolution S Atmosphere Variation of temperature, pressure and density with altitude does follow the ISA standard model On Ground Handling Simulation does include turning effects due to rudders, brakes and nose wheel steering, representative flare and touch down effects Take-Off and Climb-Out With parking brake set and applied power, proper aircraft pitch effects are simulated. During take-off, heading control is accomplished via the use of nose wheel steering and/or rudder Stalls There is full representation of the approach to Stall and the recovery from it. Stall is simulated by cockpit instruments and associated flight characteristics. The influence of aircraft attitude, gross weight, configuration and altitude is also simulated Landing The following is simulated during the landing phase: Rate of descent versus speed, power setting and wind conditions Control approach response Stall speeds in the approach and landing configuration Ground roll and deceleration Ground effects (including wind effects) and air to ground transients are simulated to the best available data, representative of the in-ground effect characteristics of the actual flight.

30 section page 30 of Instrument Responses Instrument responses to actual aircraft responses do reflect: Aircraft slip and rate of turn Rate of turn, as a function of bank angle and airspeed Attitude, altitude, rate of climb and trim changes with gear position and flap setting changes Pitch attitude, as a function of gross weight and airspeed 6.2 Radio Navigation Simulation Radio Navigation Computation In order to execute the radio navigation simulation function, real world Navigation Databases are used.
