14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

Pt. 60, App. B 

NSPM-conducted continuing qualification 
evaluations for each FTD is typically 12 
months. However, the establishment and sat-
isfactory implementation of an approved 
QMS for a sponsor will provide a basis for ad-
justing the frequency of evaluations to ex-
ceed 12-month intervals.

a. The notification described in § 60.23(c)(2) 

must include a complete description of the 
planned modification, with a description of 
the operational and engineering effect the 
proposed modification will have on the oper-
ation of the FTD and the results that are ex-

b. Prior to using the modified FTD: 
(1) All the applicable objective tests com-

pleted with the modification incorporated, 
including any necessary updates to the 
MQTG (e.g., accomplishment of FSTD Direc-
tives) must be acceptable to the NSPM; and 

(2) The sponsor must provide the NSPM 

with a statement signed by the MR that the

a. The sponsor’s responsibility with respect 

to § 60.25(a) is satisfied when the sponsor fair-
ly and accurately advises the user of the cur-
rent status of an FTD, including any miss-
ing, malfunctioning, or inoperative (MMI) 
component(s). 

b. It is the responsibility of the instructor, 

check airman, or representative of the ad-
ministrator conducting training, testing, or 
checking to exercise reasonable and prudent 
judgment to determine if any MMI compo-
nent is necessary for the satisfactory com-
pletion of a specific maneuver, procedure, or 
task. 

c. If the 29th or 30th day of the 30-day pe-

riod described in 60.25(b) is on a Saturday, a 
Sunday, or a holiday, the FAA will extend 
the deadline until the next business day. 

d. In accordance with the authorization de-

scribed in § 60.25(b), the sponsor may develop 
a discrepancy prioritizing system to accom-
plish repairs based on the level of impact on 
the capability of the FTD. Repairs having a 
larger impact on the FTD’s ability to pro-
vide the required training, evaluation, or 
flight experience will have a higher priority 
for repair or replacement.

FTD will be maintained during its out-of-
