1. This section applies to previously quali-

fied FSTDs being used to obtain training, 
testing, or checking credits for upset preven-
tion and recovery training tasks (UPRT) as 
defined in Appendix A, Table A1A, Section 
2.n. of this part. Additionally, FSTDs being 
used for unusual attitude training maneu-
vers that are intended to exceed the param-
eters of an aircraft upset must also be evalu-
ated and qualified for UPRT under this sec-
tion. These parameters include pitch atti-
tudes greater than 25 degrees nose up; pitch 
attitudes greater than 10 degrees nose down, 
and bank angles greater than 45 degrees. 

2. The requirements contained in this sec-

tion are intended to define minimum stand-
ards for evaluating an FSTD for use in upset 
prevention and recovery training maneuvers 
that may exceed an aircraft’s normal flight 
envelope. These standards include the eval-
uation of qualified training maneuvers 
against the FSTD’s validation envelope and 
providing the instructor with minimum feed-
back tools for the purpose of determining if 
a training maneuver is conducted within 
FSTD validation limits and the aircraft’s op-
erating limits. 

3. This Directive contains additional sub-

jective testing that exceeds the evaluation 
requirements of previously qualified FSTDs. 
Where aerodynamic modeling data or valida-
tion data is not available or insufficient to 
meet the requirements of this Directive, the 
NSPM may limit additional qualification to 
certain upset prevention and recovery ma-
neuvers where adequate data exists. 

4. After March 12, 2019, any FSTD being 

used to obtain training, testing, or checking 
credit for upset prevention and recovery 
training tasks in an FAA approved flight 
training program must be evaluated and 
issued additional qualification in accordance 
with this Directive and the following sec-
tions of Appendix A of this part: 

a. Table A1A, General Requirements, Section 

2.n. (Upset Prevention and Recovery) 

b. Table A3A, Functions and Subjective Test-

ing, Test 5.b.3. (Upset Prevention and Re-
covery Maneuvers) 

c. Attachment 7, Additional Simulator Qual-

ification Requirements for Stall, Upset 
Prevention and Recovery, and Engine and 
Airframe Icing Training Tasks (Upset Pre-
vention and Recovery Training Maneuver 
Evaluation) 
5. Where qualification is being sought to 

conduct upset prevention and recovery train-
ing tasks in accordance with this Directive, 
the FSTD Sponsor must conduct the re-
quired evaluations and modifications as pre-
scribed in this Directive and report compli-
ance to the NSPM in accordance with § 60.23 
using the NSP’s standardized FSTD Sponsor 

Notification Form. At a minimum, this form 
must be accompanied with the following in-
formation: 

a. A description of any modifications to the 

FSTD (in accordance with § 60.23) necessary 
to meet the requirements of this Directive. 

b. Statement of Compliance (FSTD Valida-

tion Envelope)—See Table A1A, Section 
2.n. and Attachment 7 

c. A confirmation statement that the modi-

fied FSTD has been subjectively evaluated 
by a qualified pilot as described in 
§ 60.16(a)(1)(iii). 

6. The NSPM will review each submission 

to determine if the requirements of this Di-
rective have been met and respond to the 
FSTD Sponsor as described in § 60.23(c). Addi-
tional NSPM conducted FSTD evaluations 
may be required before the modified FSTD is 
placed into service. This response, along 
with any noted restrictions, will serve as an 
interim qualification for upset prevention 
and recovery training tasks until such time 
that a permanent change is made to the 
Statement of Qualification (SOQ) at the 
FSTD’s next scheduled evaluation.

1. This section applies to previously quali-

fied Level C and Level D FSTDs being used 
to obtain training, testing, or checking cred-
its in maneuvers that demonstrate the ef-
fects of engine and airframe ice accretion. 

2. The requirements in this section are in-

tended to supersede and improve upon exist-
ing Level C and Level D FSTD evaluation re-
quirements on the effects of engine and air-
frame icing. The requirements define a min-
imum level of fidelity required to adequately 
simulate the aircraft specific aerodynamic 
characteristics of an in-flight encounter with 
engine and airframe ice accretion as nec-
essary to accomplish training objectives. 

3. This Directive contains additional sub-

jective testing that exceeds the evaluation 
requirements of previously qualified FSTDs. 
Where aerodynamic modeling data is not 
available or insufficient to meet the require-
ments of this Directive, the NSPM may limit 
qualified engine and airframe icing maneu-
vers where sufficient aerodynamic modeling 
data exists. 

4. After March 12, 2019, any FSTD being 

used to conduct training tasks that dem-
onstrate the effects of engine and airframe 
icing must be evaluated and issued addi-
tional qualification in accordance with this 
Directive and the following sections of Ap-
pendix A of this part: 

a. Table A1A, General Requirements, Section 

2.j. (Engine and Airframe Icing) 

b. Attachment 7, Additional Simulator Qual-

ification Requirements for Stall, Upset
