approved flight training programs for the
FFSs in the Chicago and Moscow centers) because - 
(i) Each FFS in the Chicago center and
each FFS in the Moscow center is used at
least once each 12-month period by another
FAA certificate holder in that other certificate holder-s FAA-approved flight training
program for the airplane (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(1));
OR
(ii) A statement is obtained from a qualified pilot (having flown the airplane, not the
subject FFS or another FFS, during the preceding 12-month period) stating that the performance and handling qualities of each FFS
in the Chicago and Moscow centers represents the airplane (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(2)).

(iii) The initial flight conditions.
(iv) The airplane configuration, including
weight and center of gravity.
(v) The data to be gathered.
(vi) All other information necessary to
recreate the flight test conditions in the
FFS.
(2) Appropriately qualified flight test personnel.
(3) An understanding of the accuracy of the
data to be gathered using appropriate alternative data sources, procedures, and instrumentation that is traceable to a recognized
standard as described in Attachment 2, Table
A2E of this appendix.
(4) Appropriate and sufficient data acquisition equipment or system(s), including appropriate data reduction and analysis methods and techniques, as would be acceptable
to the FAA-s Aircraft Certification Service.
b. The data, regardless of source, must be
presented as follows:
(1) In a format that supports the FFS validation process.
(2) In a manner that is clearly readable and
annotated correctly and completely.
(3) With resolution sufficient to determine
compliance with the tolerances set forth in
Attachment 2, Table A2A of this appendix.
(4) With any necessary instructions or
other details provided, such as yaw damper
or throttle position.
(5) Without alteration, adjustments, or
bias. Data may be corrected to address
known data calibration errors provided that
an explanation of the methods used to correct the errors appears in the QTG. The corrected data may be re-scaled, digitized, or
otherwise manipulated to fit the desired
presentation.
c. After completion of any additional flight
test, a flight test report must be submitted
in support of the validation data. The report
must contain sufficient data and rationale to
support qualification of the FFS at the level
requested.
d. As required by Section 60.13(f), the sponsor
must notify the NSPM when it becomes
aware that an addition to, an amendment to,
or a revision of data that may relate to FFS
performance or handling characteristics is
available. The data referred to in this paragraph is data used to validate the performance, handling qualities, or other characteristics of the aircraft, including data related
to any relevant changes occurring after the
type certificate was issued. The sponsor
must - 
(1) Within 10 calendar days, notify the
NSPM of the existence of this data; and
(2) Within 45 calendar days, notify the
NSPM of - 
(a) The schedule to incorporate this data
into the FFS; or
(b) The reason for not incorporating this
data into the FFS.
