Summary: Notwithstanding the authoriza
tion listed in paragraph 13b in Appendices A
and C of this part, this FSTD Directive requires each certificate holder to ensure that
by May 30, 2009, except for the airport
model(s) used to qualify the simulator at the
designated level, each airport model used by
the certificate holder-s instructors or evaluators for training, checking, or testing
under this chapter in an FFS, meets the definition of a Class II or Class III airport model
as defined in 14CFR part 60. The completion
of this requirement will not require a report,
and the method used for keeping instructors
and evaluators apprised of the airport models that meet Class II or Class III requirements on any given simulator is at the op-

1. Part 60 requires that each FSTD be:
a. Sponsored by a person holding or applying for an FAA operating certificate under
Part 119, Part 141, or Part 142, or holding or
applying for an FAA-approved training program under Part 63, Appendix C, for flight
engineers, and
b. Evaluated and issued an SOQ for a specific FSTD level.
2. FFSs also require the installation of a
visual system that is capable of providing an
out-of-the-flight-deck view of airport models. However, historically these airport models were not routinely evaluated or required
to meet any standardized criteria. This has
led to qualified simulators containing airport models being used to meet FAA-approved training, testing, or checking requirements with potentially incorrect or inappropriate visual references.
3. To prevent this from occurring in the future, by May 30, 2009, except for the airport
model(s) used to qualify the simulator at the
designated level, each certificate holder
must assure that each airport model used for
training, testing, or checking under this
