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

during the preceding 12-month period) stating that the subject FFS-s performance and
handling qualities represent the helicopter
(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 FFS 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 FFSs 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
FFSs in the Chicago and Moscow centers) because - 
(i) Each FFS in the Chicago center and
each FFS 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 helicopter (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(1)); OR
(ii) A statement is obtained from a qualified pilot (having flown the helicopter, not
the subject FFS or another FFS during the
preceding 12-month period) stating that the
performance and handling qualities of each
FFS in the Chicago and Moscow centers represents the helicopter (as described in
Section 60.7(d)(2)).

9. FFS OBJECTIVE DATA REQUIREMENTS
(Section 60.13)
lllllllllllllllllllllll
BEGIN QPS REQUIREMENTS
a. Flight test data used to validate FFS
performance and handling qualities must
have been gathered in accordance with a
flight test program containing the following:
(1) A flight test plan consisting of:
(a) The maneuvers and procedures required
for aircraft certification and simulation programming and validation
(b) For each maneuver or procedure - 
(i) The procedures and control input the
flight test pilot and/or engineer used.
(ii) The atmospheric and environmental
conditions.
(iii) The initial flight conditions.
(iv) The helicopter configuration, including weight and center of gravity.
(v) The data to be gathered.
(vi) All other information necessary to
recreate the flight test conditions in the
FFS.
(2) Appropriately qualified flight test personnel.
(3) An understanding of the accuracy of the
data to be gathered using appropriate alternative data sources, procedures, and instrumentation that is traceable to a recognized
standard as described in Attachment 2, Table
C2D of this appendix.
(4) Appropriate and sufficient data acquisition equipment or system(s), including appropriate data reduction and analysis methods and techniques, acceptable to the FAA-s
Aircraft Certification Service.
b. The data, regardless of source, must be
presented:
(1) In a format that supports the FFS validation process;
(2) In a manner that is clearly readable and
annotated correctly and completely;
(3) With resolution sufficient to determine
compliance with the tolerances set forth in
Attachment 2, Table C2A of this appendix.
(4) With any necessary instructions or
other details provided, such as Stability
Augmentation System (SAS) or throttle position; and
(5) Without alteration, adjustments, or
bias. Data may be corrected to address
known data calibration errors provided that
an explanation of the methods used to correct the errors appears in the QTG. The corrected data may be re-scaled, digitized, or
otherwise manipulated to fit the desired
presentation.
c. After completion of any additional flight
test, a flight test report must be submitted
in support of the validation data. The report
must contain sufficient data and rationale to
