In 2014, Avidyne began equipping general aviation and business aircraft with the IFD540 and IFD440 navigators incorporating a touch-screen flight management system with full LPV capability. [5] LPV is designed to provide 25 feet (7.6 m) lateral and vertical accuracy 95 percent of the time. [6] Actual performance has exceeded these levels.
In order to remain compliant with ICAO Annex 1, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States requires co-pilots (second-in-command, or SIC) to have a 'SIC Type Rating' for aircraft requiring a crew of two, and otherwise requires a type rating to act as pilot-in-command (PIC) to fly internationally, or over international airspace.
The training provides the skills needed to complete flights with less than the VFR minimum requirements. In the US, all pilots who fly above 18,000 feet above mean sea level (MSL) (a lower limit of Class A airspace) must have an instrument rating, [2] and must be on an IFR flight plan. This rating requires highly specialized training by a ...

Operational data analysis is used to assess the participants competency in the objective requirements for all aspects of training. Pilots are evaluated based on their ability to show proficiency in scenarios that test both technical, cognitive and crew resource management skills together. [3]
The aircraft behaves as in direct mode: the autotrim feature is turned off and there is a direct response of the elevators to the sidestick inputs. The horizontal stabilizer is set to 4° up but manual settings (e.g. for center of gravity) override this setting.
This can be difficult the first time a company attempts to develop a civil avionics system under this standard, and has created a niche market for DO-178B training and consulting. For a generic DO-178B based process, a visual summary is provided including the Stages of Involvement (SOIs) defined by FAA on the "Guidance and Job Aids for Software ...
The company indicated that this change eliminated the need for pilots to have simulator training on the new aircraft. [citation needed] After the fatal crash of Lion Air Flight 610 in 2018, Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) referred pilots to a revised trim runaway checklist that must be performed in case of a malfunction ...
