Directive.
Summary: Notwithstanding the authorization listed in paragraph 13b in Appendix A of
this Part, this FSTD Directive requires that
each FSTD sponsor conduct additional subjective and objective testing, conduct required modifications, and apply for additional FSTD qualification under Section 60.16 to
support continued qualification of the following flight training tasks where training,

utilized to obtain training, testing, or checking credit in an FAA approved flight training
program. In order to obtain additional qualification for the tasks described in this Directive, FSTD sponsors must request additional
qualification in accordance with Section 60.16 and
the requirements of this Directive. FSTDs
that are found to meet the requirements of
this Directive will have their Statement of

Directive are divided into the following
training tasks:
a. Section I - Additional Qualification Requirements for Full Stall Training Tasks
