Full flight simulator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Full Flight Simulator (FFS) is a term used by National (civil) Aviation Authorities (NAA) for a high technical level of flight simulator. Such authorities include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Europe. There are currently four levels of Full Flight Simulator, levels A - D, level D being the highest standard and being eligible for Zero Flight Time (ZFT) training of civil pilots when converting from one airliner type to another. A level D simulator for instance simulates over 99% of all aircraft systems accessible from the flight deck and provides force feedback through a motion platform.
