Appendix 1 (1 OF4)
TASK VS. SIMULATION DEVICE CREDIT
Examiners conducting the Private Pilot – Helicopter Practical Tests with simulation devices should consult appropriate documentation to ensure that the device has been approved for training. The documentation for each device should reflect that the following activities have occurred:
1. The device must be evaluated, determined to meet the appropriate standards, and assigned the appropriate qualification level by the National Simulator Program Manager. The device must continue to meet qualification standards through continuing evaluations as outlined in the appropriate advisory circular (AC). For helicopter simulators, AC 120-63 (as amended), Helicopter Simulator Qualification, will be used.
2.
The FAA must approve the device for specific TASKS.

3.
The device must continue to support the level of student or applicant performance required by this PTS.

NOTE: Users of the following chart are cautioned that use of the chart alone is incomplete. The description and objective of each task as listed in the body of the PTS, including all notes, must also be incorporated for accurate simulation device use.
FAA-S-8081-15
USE OF CHART (2 OF 4)
XCreditable.
X1 Creditable only if accomplished in conjunction with a running takeoff or running landing, as appropriate.
NOTE: 1. The helicopter may be used for all tasks.
2.
 Level C simulators may be used as indicated only if the applicant meets established pre-requisite experience requirements.

3.
 Level A helicopter simulator standards have not been defined.

4.
 Helicopter flight training devices have not been defined.
