Which device is a replica of a specific type; or make, model, and series aircraft cockpit, including required equipment and a visual system, and provides motion cues and full range of capabilities for a specific FFS qualification level?

Which device is a replica of a specific type; or make, model, and series aircraft cockpit, including required equipment and a visual system, and provides motion cues and full range of capabilities for a specific FFS qualification level?

• A. Full Flight Simulator (FFS)
• B. Flight Training Device (FTD)
• C. Flight Simulator
• D. Ground Training Device

Answer: (A)

The device described is the Full Flight Simulator. It is designed to be a precise replica of a specific aircraft cockpit—matching the exact make, model, and series—with all required equipment installed and a realistic visual system. It also provides motion cues, meaning you feel the aircraft’s movements in three dimensions, and it can reproduce the full range of flight capabilities that are required for a particular qualification level. This level of fidelity distinguishes it from other training devices: a Flight Training Device is fixed-base or lacks full motion, a Ground Training Device is stationary or only simulates basic systems, and a general Flight Simulator may not meet the specific cockpit replication or motion requirements tied to a defined qualification level.
