Hello Pprune flight testers.
I'm doing some research on simulator qualification test guides. These are the documents simlator manufacturers prepare for the regulators which form the basis of their aerodynamic, visual, motion simulator systems.
My specific questions relates to the 737 series. I read a paper which indicated that Boeing did detailed flight testing on the 737-700 and produced a simulator qualification test guide (QTG) for this aircraft. When the 737-600/-800/-900 came along, Boeing saved money and did a controlled ammendment to the -700 QTG to produce the -600/-800/-900 QTGs. So the later aircraft had QTGs based on the -700 but not identical.
I'm seeking a point of contact or clarification of the process as I summarised above. Can anyone help? I'd like to be able to discuss this and get an authoritive answer on whether this process is possible, and whether it was used to develop four different 737 QTGs covering the -600 to -900 series.
Thanks in advance.
