(2) Each MR must be an employee of 

the sponsor with the responsibility and 
authority to— 

(i) Monitor the on-going qualification 

of assigned FSTDs to ensure that all 
matters regarding FSTD qualification 
are being carried out as provided for in 
this part; 

(ii) Ensure that the QMS is properly 

established, implemented, and main-
tained by overseeing the structure (and 
modifying where necessary) of the QMS

the sponsor and the NSPM regarding 
the qualification of that FSTD as pro-
vided for in this part. 

(4) The MR may delegate the duties 

described in paragraph (c)(2) and (c)(3)

of the sponsor’s locations. 

§ 60.11

FSTD use. 

No person may use or allow the use 

of or offer the use of an FSTD for flight 
crewmember training or evaluation or 
for obtaining flight experience to meet 
any of the requirements under this 
chapter unless, in accordance with the 
QPS for the specific device, the FSTD 
meets all of the following: 

(a) Has a single sponsor who is quali-

fied under § 60.7. The sponsor may ar-
range with another person for services 
of document preparation and presen-
tation, as well as FSTD inspection, 
maintenance, repair, and servicing; 
however, the sponsor remains respon-

fication evaluations, appropriate main-
tenance, and use requirements in ac-
cordance with this part and the appli-
cable QPS. 

(d) Functions during day-to-day 

training, evaluation, or flight experi-
ence activities with the software and 
hardware that was evaluated as satis-
factory by the NSPM and, if modified,

and handling qualities during evalua-
tion for qualification, the data made 
available to the NSPM (the validation 
data package) must include the air-
craft manufacturer’s flight test data 
and all relevant data developed after 
the type certificate was issued (

e.g.

data developed in response to an air-
worthiness directive) if such data re-
sults from a change in performance, 
handling qualities, functions, or other 
characteristics of the aircraft that 
must be considered for flight crew-
member training, evaluation, or for 
meeting experience requirements of 
this chapter. 

(b) The validation data package may 

contain flight test data from a source 
in addition to or independent of the 
aircraft manufacturer’s data in support 
of an FSTD qualification, but only if 
this data is gathered and developed by 
that source in accordance with flight 
test methods, including a flight test 
plan, as described in the applicable 
QPS. 

(c) The validation data package may 

also contain predicted data, engineer-
ing simulation data, data from pilot 
owner or pilot operating manuals, or
