a. The intent of the language in § 60.7(b) is 

to have a specific FFS, identified by the 
sponsor, used at least once in an FAA-ap-
proved flight training program for the heli-
copter simulated during the 12-month period 
described. The identification of the specific 
FFS may change from one 12-month period 
to the next 12-month period as long as that 
sponsor sponsors and uses at least one FFS 
at least once during the prescribed period. 
There is no minimum number of hours or 
minimum FFS periods required. 

b. The following examples describe accept-

able operational practices: 

(1) Example One. 
(a) A sponsor is sponsoring a single, spe-

cific FFS for its own use, in its own facility 
or elsewhere—this single FFS forms the 
basis for the sponsorship. The sponsor uses 
that FFS at least once in each 12-month pe-
riod in that sponsor’s FAA-approved flight 
training program for the helicopter simu-
lated. This 12-month period is established ac-
cording to the following schedule: 

(i) If the FFS was qualified prior to May 30, 

2008, the 12-month period begins on the date 
of the first continuing qualification evalua-
tion conducted in accordance with § 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 
§ 60.15. Once the initial or upgrade evaluation 
is complete, the first continuing qualifica-
tion evaluation will be conducted within 6 
months. The 12 month continuing qualifica-
tion evaluation cycle begins on that date and 
continues for each subsequent 12-month pe-
riod. 

(b) There is no minimum number of hours 

of FFS use required. 

(c) The identification of the specific FFS 

may change from one 12-month period to the 
next 12-month period as long as that sponsor 
sponsors and uses at least one FFS at least 
once during the prescribed period. 

(2) Example Two. 
(a) A sponsor sponsors an additional num-

ber of FFSs, in its facility or elsewhere. 
Each additionally sponsored FFS must be— 

(i) Used by the sponsor in the sponsor’s 

FAA-approved flight training program for 
the helicopter simulated (as described in 
§ 60.7(d)(1)); or 

(ii) Used by another FAA certificate holder 

in that other certificate holder’s FAA-ap-
proved flight training program for the heli-
copter simulated (as described in § 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 heli-
copter, not the subject FFS or another FFS,
