Data package delivery as well.How can OEMs, data/sim package provider, and simulator manufacturer together guarantee/achieve that aircraftsystems and simulator solutions are made available and are integrated within a similar time scale?This is not a new problem but worsened considerably by complex data packages without offering an incrementalor modular approach.For example, it is envisaged that new A380 software called batch 4 will be installed 1st Quarter 2013. No similardata package (STD1.4?) is available or announced at the moment. We are guessing that a new data package canbe delivered in summer 2013 and integrated until spring 2014. Normally a gap of 12 month is not favorable foritems with an obvious training impactVendor comments, please.Value of Resolution: Improve PerformanceItemNo.Subsystem NameComponentPart No.(Sim Mfr &Vendor)Sim Mfr/ VendorNameYear ofMfrAircraftTypeFromUser1 Engine Model A320 NEO AirbusAirbus Data Group will produce a very limited data package (e.g., QTG tests) for the new engines A320 NEO (PW1100 and CFM-LEAP X) due to the Export Control constraints, but will deliver engine models as SimulationSoftware Packages (SSP) with a specific architecture (binary code).The format of these SSP is not defined yet, but it should be similar to that of the EFCS SSP.These SSP will only take into account the Airbus Training Malfunction list, making it difficult for the manufacturerto simulate specific failures claimed by their customer.Operators, TDMs, please comment.Do other Aircraft manufacturers have the same issue?Value of Resolution: Provide Information
