The flight simulation industry continues its shift toward automation, fidelity, and efficient certification workflows. At NEBEG Solutions, we are proud to announce the official release of our NEBEG eQTG MET Tool — a milestone product designed to bring the next level of automation and reliability to Multi-Engine Turbine (MET)-class Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs).
Following months of development and validation work, the MET eQTG Tool now completes the NEBEG eQTG family, covering Single Engine Piston/Turboprop (SEP), Multi Engine Piston/Turboprop (MEP), and now Multi and Single Engine Turbine (MET) devices. This release sets a new benchmark for certification-ready, data-driven simulator testing and documentation under EASA CS-FSTD(A).300 and equivalent international standards.
The MET Challenge — and the NEBEG Response
MET-class training devices represent a critical bridge between piston-level simulation and full-flight environments. They combine multi-crew turbine operations with high system complexity — fly-by-wire, pressurization, and performance regimes that demand precision validation. Traditionally, preparing these devices for certification required extensive manual testing, documentation, and authority correspondence. The NEBEG eQTG MET Tool changes that.
It automates the entire QTG process:
- Automated Test Execution – Each MET script executes seamlessly within the simulator, including repositioning, initialization, and flight maneuvers.
- Data Capture & Plotting – Results are logged, processed, and plotted instantly, ready for review or submission.
- Semi-Automated QTG Generation – Parts of the Qualification Test Guide are generated automatically in line with EASA documentation structure.
- Validation Data Integration – Aircraft-specific validation datasets (for example, ToLiss A320) are linked directly into the tool's logic and plots.
What's New in the MET eQTG Tool
- Turbine-Class Flight Logic: Support for complex powerplant dynamics, propeller governors, and turbine-engine spool characteristics.
- Multi-Crew Workflow: Enhanced test-sequencing logic aligned with MCC-level operations and flight-deck procedures.
- Expanded Parameter Library: New test scripts for transport delay, system fidelity, and response correlation — all preconfigured to MET validation datasets.
- Integrated Data Review: Real-time performance graphs, tolerance bands, and automatic compliance flags.
- eQTG Export Suite: One-click PDF and data export of all test items, complete with traceable log paths and metadata.
Validation and Certification Path
The MET eQTG Tool was developed alongside ongoing validation campaigns and reference documentation updates. The final documentation package — including AFM, Engineering Report, System Description, QRH, and Flight Test Protocol — will be finalized by Christmas 2025, aligning with NEBEG's first A320 FNPT II MCC certification submission in January 2026.
The system has been internally pre-qualified for integration with ToLiss Airbus A320 systems and models under X-Plane 12, with ongoing validation-data calibration to ensure regulatory alignment and repeatable performance results.
Why This Matters for the Industry
- For Training Organisations: reduced dependency on third-party consultants, faster qualification cycles, and transparent compliance control.
- For FSTD Manufacturers: a scalable, plug-and-play certification infrastructure adaptable to any aircraft and simulator configuration.
- For Aviation Authorities: consistent, machine-readable QTG outputs aligned with the EASA digitalization roadmap.
Commercial Availability
The NEBEG eQTG MET Tool is available immediately for licensing, visit our webpage www.nebeg.ch or give us a message via LinkedIn to start integration. Each license includes:
- Full initial certification support
- Complete QTG documentation package
- Validation data for the selected aircraft (or integration of customer-provided datasets)
- Optional on-site integration and recurrent certification service
Looking Ahead
The release of the MET eQTG Tool marks another step toward NEBEG's long-term vision: a fully automated, traceable, and data-driven certification ecosystem — one that supports ATOs, manufacturers, and authorities alike in bringing reliable, cost-effective turbine-class simulation to market. We are now working hard on finalizing the full automation of the document generation and plan to release this feature in Q1 2026 with the eQTG version 2.0.
