继续研究取证问题……
找到这么个东西，这么说来取证的问题根本不是在什么“气动”、“航电”……而是硬件，FAA现在对PC Aid Training的硬件设备有严格要求，但软件这块可以说是空白，这就意味着……LS两位在模拟机领域跃跃欲试的XD，心思主要放在硬件在即可，软件部分找开源的东西来对付吧~
The question of FAA approval of Microsoft Flight Simulator (and other PC-based simulations) comes up all the time.
But as I explain in detail in my new book, the FAA doesn't approve flight simulation software. It approves flight training devices (FTDs) and simulators, devices that include software and displays, controls, and other features. (Almost all of the requirements for approval of FTDs focus on the displays and physical controls, not the flight modeling. Many levels of FTD require only a generic flight model, which may be based on fictitious data; a Level 4 FTD doesn't require any type of flight model.) Microsoft Flight Simulator meets the requirements for use in an FTD, but it can't be "approved" separately by the FAA.
That said, Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and other products have been included in approved FTDs, both in the U.S. and in other countries. Note, however, that you can log simulated time spent "flying" those devices only when they are used under the direct supervision of an instructor  [see, e.g., FAR 61.519(g)(4)].
It's interesting that the topic of FAA approval of Flight Simulator pops up as often as, say, questions about frame rates. But no one doubts the utility and value of many training aids, such as GPS simulations, online courses, and DVDs, none of which are "FAA approved" (with the exception of some courses that may be used to meet requirements for the pilot proficiency program or the flight instructor renewal process).
The experiences of many individuals and organizations over the years demonstrate that such aids, including Flight Simulator, can make training or proficiency flying more efficient and less costly, even if time spent using the tools doesn't count toward the minimum logged flight or simulator time required for a certificate, rating, or currency. As I often say, "It's about learning, not logging."
Note that the FAA has just released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for an update to Part 61 of the FARs, which governs pilot certification and training. The proposed rules, which must go through an extensive review and comment period, would allow the wider use of PC-based training devices in initial training and proficiency sessions. But all such use would still have to be under the direct supervision of an instructor and "flown" on an approved training device. Again, a typical home setup with PC-based simulation software such as Microsoft Flight Simulator does not meet the requirements for approval as an flight training device.
