This project, carried out in partnership with Embraer S.A., aims to address the issue of new training requirements for stall characteristics recognition in FSTD: Flight Simulation Training Device. Historically, pilot training in simulators was limited to the approach to stall and to recover from the stall warning first indication, which means the airplane was in the linear region of the lift coefficient curve. Following the occurrence of serious accidents around the world, where the crew was unable to properly identify and recover the aircraft from stall, the US Congress and Senate instituted the Public Law 111-216 - Aug. 1, 2010. This law was established as a proposal to amend the current requirement (14 CFR Part 60) and its means of compliance (Advisory Circulars), specifically AC 120-109, and to enforce full stall training in simulators, which goes beyond of the loss of lift, indirectly encouraging the challenge of modeling the non-linear behavior of the wing. The new requirement change proposal has raised a number of questions and doubts about the fidelity of the simulator and the possibility of "negative training", provoking huge debate among manufacturers, regulatory authorities, training providers and third parties. At the end of this paper, it is expected to provide an assessment of the pros and cons of this new training requirement impacts on flight safety and product development, and to account for the consequences for aircraft manufacturers.
