No, I must confess you're correct Curt. I've also checked the JAR STD 1A and it's the same : a 3DOF motion base is required for a Level A Flight Simulator.
http://www.jaa.nl/section1/jars/439120.pdf I've worked a couple of years for a simulator company on Level D Full Flight Simulators and I always thought that the Fixed Based Simulators (which were the exact copy of the FFS from a HW and SW point of view - but with no visual and no motion) were at least level A. I was wrong, it's only Flight Training Devices (FTD). Olivier ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis L.
