17. MODIFICATIONS TO FFSS (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 FFS and the results that are expected with the modification incorporated.
b. Prior to using the modified FFS:
(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.

pletion of a specific maneuver, procedure, or
task.
c. If the 29th or 30th day of the 30-day period described in Section 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 FFS. Repairs having a
larger impact on FFS capability 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
FFS 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 FFS is to be maintained) there is a
greater likelihood that the NSPM will be
able to determine the amount of testing required for requalification.
END INFORMATION

BEGIN INFORMATION
(3) FSTD Directives are considered modifications of an FFS. See Attachment 4 of
this appendix for a sample index of effective
FSTD Directives. See Attachment 6 of this
appendix for a list of all effective FSTD Directives applicable to Helicopter FFSs.

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 com-
