In the evolving world of aviation simulation training, certification readiness for devices at the Multi-Engine Turbine (MET) level is becoming a strategic priority.
In the evolving world of aviation simulation training, certification readiness for devices at the Multi-Engine Turbine (MET) level is becoming a strategic priority. At NEBEG Solutions we recognise that an effective Validation Roadmap is the anchor that links our software, hardware and documentation workflows to the regulatory requirements of authorities such as EASA. This article lays out our current roadmap for MET-class device certification, and contextualises it within broader industry best-practice for FSTDs.
The concept of a Validation Data Roadmap (VDR) under EASA's CS-SIMD framework is well established: it defines the scope of Validation Source Data (VSD) and how it flows into Validation Data (VD) for device qualification. Key take-aways:
For NEBEG Solutions, our Validation Roadmap forms the spine of our MET-license offering — ensuring our eQTG framework, documentation suite, and validation data all align with the expected qualification pathway.
| Completion of MET script development | 14th November — All MET-class test scripting (for example Airbus-type system behaviours, multi-engine turbine dynamics) will be locked-down. |
| All documentation completed | November — The eQTG tool and full documentation package (AFM, QRH, System Description, Operator Manuals, etc.) will be available for licensing. |
| Validation Campaign & Documentation Update | December — Values and data for our MET-class devices will be updated, documented and integrated into the MQTG suite. |
| Submission of first certification request (A320 FNPT II MCC) | Around January — We have aligned with a training organisation and will submit the initial application to the competent authority. |
| First Certification expected | June 2026 — We project this first device qualification within this timeframe. |
This roadmap enables our customers to anticipate deployment timelines, device build-out schedules and regulatory submission windows — a major advantage in planning device programmes and training-centre investments.
Meeting MET-level qualification involves addressing higher expectations in aerodynamic fidelity, system behaviour, multi-engine handling, and calibration of validation data. Under CS-FSTD(A).300 and its associated AMC/GM, training-device providers must demonstrate that the device responds appropriately to the qualification basis established for the aircraft type. For example:
From a strategic perspective, NEBEG's upfront roadmap reduces device-build risk, accelerates time-to-market for customers and aligns with cost-effective turbine-class simulation solutions.
While the MET-licence path is our flagship roadmap, we recognise that training-centres and manufacturers may seek faster or alternative pathways. To that end:
For device-manufacturers and training-organisations evaluating NEBEG solutions:
Our validation roadmap at NEBEG Solutions is not just a project-plan — it is a strategic framework built for device-manufacturers and training-organisations who demand clarity, compliance and competitive advantage. From final-stage MET scripting through to first-certification submission in early 2026, we are aligning every documentation, test-sequence and data-package to the reality of FSTD qualification under EASA and international standards.
If you are planning a MET-class device, or wish to explore partnership pathways with NEBEG, now is the time to engage. Let's navigate the road to certification together — turning simulation ambition into trusted training-device reality.
