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 FFS, 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 FFS. Repairs having a 
larger impact on FFS capability to provide 
the required training, evaluation, or flight 
experience will have a higher priority for re-
pair or replacement.

If the sponsor provides a plan for how the 

FFS will be maintained during its out-of- 
service period (e.g., periodic exercise of me-
chanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems; 
routine replacement of hydraulic fluid; con-
trol of the environmental factors in which 
the FFS is to be maintained) there is a 
greater likelihood that the NSPM will be 

able to determine the amount of testing re-
quired for requalification.

a. FFS modifications can include hardware 

or software changes. For FFS modifications 
involving software programming changes, 
the record required by § 60.31(a)(2) must con-
sist of the name of the aircraft system soft-
ware, aerodynamic model, or engine model 
change, the date of the change, a summary 
of the change, and the reason for the change. 

b. If a coded form for record keeping is 

used, it must provide for the preservation 
and retrieval of information with appro-
priate security or controls to prevent the in-
appropriate alteration of such records after 
the fact.
