Pt. 60, App. B

There is no minimum number of hours or
minimum FTD periods required.
b. The following examples describe acceptable operational practices:
(1) Example One.
(a) A sponsor is sponsoring a single, specific FTD for its own use, in its own facility
or elsewhere -  this single FTD forms the
basis for the sponsorship. The sponsor uses
that FTD at least once in each 12-month period in that sponsor-s FAA-approved flight
training program for the airplane simulated.
This 12-month period is established according to the following schedule:
(i) If the FTD was qualified prior to May
30, 2008, the 12-month period begins on the
date of the first continuing qualification
evaluation conducted in accordance with
Section 60.19 after May 30, 2008, and continues for
each subsequent 12-month period;
(ii) A device qualified on or after May 30,
2008, will be required to undergo an initial or
upgrade evaluation in accordance with
Section 60.15. Once the initial or upgrade evaluation
is complete, the first continuing qualification evaluation will be conducted within 6
months. The 12 month continuing qualification evaluation cycle begins on that date and
continues for each subsequent 12-month period.
(b) There is no minimum number of hours
of FTD use required.
(c) The identification of the specific FTD
may change from one 12-month period to the
next 12-month period as long as that sponsor
sponsors and uses at least one FTD at least
once during the prescribed period.
(2) Example Two.
(a) A sponsor sponsors an additional number of FTDs, in its facility or elsewhere.
Each additionally sponsored FTD must be - 
(i) Used by the sponsor in the sponsor-s
FAA-approved flight training program for
the airplane simulated (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(1)); or
(ii) Used by another FAA certificate holder
in that other certificate holder-s FAA-approved flight training program for the airplane simulated (as described in Section 60.7(d)(1)).
This 12-month period is established in the
same manner as in example one; or
(iii) Provided a statement each year from a
qualified pilot, (after having flown the airplane, not the subject FTD or another FTD,
during the preceding 12-month period) stating that the subject FTD-s performance and
handling qualities represent the airplane (as
described in Section 60.7(d)(2)). This statement is
provided at least once in each 12-month period established in the same manner as in example one.
(b) There is no minimum number of hours
of FTD use required.
(3) Example Three.
(a) A sponsor in New York (in this example, a Part 142 certificate holder) establishes

 - satellite -  training centers in Chicago and
Moscow.
(b) The satellite function means that the
Chicago and Moscow centers must operate
under the New York center-s certificate (in
accordance with all of the New York center-s
practices, procedures, and policies; e.g., instructor and/or technician training/checking
requirements, record keeping, QMS program).
(c) All of the FTDs in the Chicago and Moscow centers could be dry-leased (i.e., the certificate holder does not have and use FAAapproved flight training programs for the
FTDs in the Chicago and Moscow centers)
because - 
(i) Each FTD in the Chicago center and
each FTD 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 FTD or another FTD during the preceding 12-month period) stating that the performance and handling qualities of each FTD
in the Chicago and Moscow centers represents the airplane (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(2)).
