<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Attached are two meeting announcements for upcoming FSEMC Working Groups that will be held in Cologne, Germany. The first meeting, March 27-28 (Monday Tuesday) is the Simulator Continuing Qualification
(SCQ) Working Group. The second meeting is FSEMC Data Document (FDD) Working group. This meeting will be held the following two days 29-30 March.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="InputText"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The intent of the SCQ is to initiate discussion to alternative means of continuing qualification and validation of FSTD’s– 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="InputText"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The first working group meeting delved into improving recurrent qualification evaluations outside of the QTG processes. From the meeting, the group discussions resulted in several points. The
industry could benefit from developing:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>ARINC Specification 450:</b> <i>Flight Simulator Design and Performance Data Requirements,</i> which is on the ARINC Store for purchase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="InputText"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;layout-grid-mode:line">The FDD Working Group identified a number of areas of improvement for the existing data document. The FDD Working Group is dedicated to the development and updates to the

prerequisites. The resulting evolutions of the document will strengthen the guidance applicable to next generation aircraft, as well as assisting training device operators in maintenance and engineering of existing devices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">To ensure the success of this project, it is critical to receive training device operator support. Intensive discussion, drafting, and editing occur at the working group meetings.
