[Fsemc] Simulation Data Validation Exploratory Meeting...Crawley, United Kingdom

[Sam Buckwalter]

The FSEMC Steering Committee welcomes industry professionals to an exploratory meeting about Simulator Data Validation. The meeting will be moderated by Brandon Mazzacavallo, Boeing Flight Services.

The intent of the meeting is to follow up from the success of last year's exploratory meeting held in Dallas, Texas and open up discussion to alternative means of validation of FSTDs- and share and promote new ideas and ways of optimizing regular testing and checking methods. We invite your organization to participate in this "idea generation" activity to ensure we consider ideas from across the industry. Topics will include alternate means to qualify devices in lieu or in addition to the QTG, validation data for new aircraft models that heavily rely on binary simulations, data requirements for maintenance devices.

To kick off the discussion, the meeting will entertain the opinion about an over reliance on QTGs for annual validation for performance and handling of the FSTD and offer there may be better means to perform the same level of confidence of validating the simulations are true to the aircraft. The premise for this point is that the QTG is a valuable testing tool to validate the simulation software initially, but often does not lend itself to identify problems with the simulation software over a recurring period. However, as an industry we spend thousands of hours repeating tests - where the actual software has not changed one bit. The challenge is to develop a more optimized approach to validating the simulation software and focus more on the hardware in the loop, where there are regular areas that should be checked and where problems often occur. This approach could be used effectively over the lifecycle of the FSTD. The meeting will introduce the concept of using flight test data along with engineering data to objectively evaluate an FSTD from a holistic point and treat the FSTD as a system - a system that may require different testing methods.

The meeting will be March 26-27, 2015 at the Boeing Training and Flight Services Gatwick Campus.
