Pt. 60, App. B

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

NSPM-conducted continuing qualification
evaluations for each FTD is typically 12
months. However, the establishment and satisfactory implementation of an approved
QMS for a sponsor will provide a basis for adjusting the frequency of evaluations to exceed 12-month intervals.
15. LOGGING FTD DISCREPANCIES (Section 60.20)
No additional regulatory or informational
material applies to Section 60.20. Logging FTD Discrepancies.
16. INTERIM QUALIFICATION OF FTDS FOR NEW
AIRPLANE TYPES OR MODELS (Section 60.21)
No additional regulatory or informational
material applies to Section 60.21, Interim Qualification of FTDs for New Airplane Types or Models.

17. MODIFICATIONS TO FTDS (Section 60.23)
lllllllllllllllllllllll
BEGIN QPS REQUIREMENTS
a. The notification described in Section 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 operation of the FTD and the results that are expected with the modification incorporated.
b. Prior to using the modified FTD:
(1) All the applicable objective tests completed with the modification incorporated,
including any necessary updates to the
MQTG (e.g., accomplishment of FSTD Directives) must be acceptable to the NSPM; and
(2) The sponsor must provide the NSPM
with a statement signed by the MR that the
factors listed in Section 60.15(b) are addressed by
the appropriate personnel as described in
that section.
END QPS REQUIREMENTS

BEGIN INFORMATION
a. The sponsor-s responsibility with respect
to Section 60.25(a) is satisfied when the sponsor fairly and accurately advises the user of the current status of an FTD, including any missing, malfunctioning, or inoperative (MMI)
component(s).
b. It is the responsibility of the instructor,
check airman, or representative of the administrator conducting training, testing, or
checking to exercise reasonable and prudent
judgment to determine if any MMI component is necessary for the satisfactory completion of a specific maneuver, procedure, or
task.
c. If the 29th or 30th day of the 30-day period 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 described in Section 60.25(b), the sponsor may develop
a discrepancy prioritizing system to accomplish repairs based on the level of impact on
the capability of the FTD. Repairs having a
larger impact on the FTD-s ability to provide the required training, evaluation, or
flight experience will have a higher priority
for repair or replacement.

19. AUTOMATIC LOSS OF QUALIFICATION AND
PROCEDURES FOR RESTORATION OF QUALIFICATION (Section 60.27)
lllllllllllllllllllllll
BEGIN INFORMATION
If the sponsor provides a plan for how the
FTD will be maintained during its out-ofservice period (e.g., periodic exercise of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems;
routine replacement of hydraulic fluid; control of the environmental factors in which
the FTD is to be maintained) there is a
greater likelihood that the NSPM will be
able to determine the amount of testing that
required for requalification.

c. FSTD Directives are considered modification of an FTD. See Attachment 4 of this
appendix for a sample index of effective
FSTD Directives.
