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

to have a specific FTD, 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 
FTD may change from one 12-month period 
to the next 12-month period as long as that 
sponsor sponsors and uses at least one FTD 
at least once during the prescribed period. 
There is no minimum number of hours or 
minimum FTD periods required. 

b. The following examples describe accept-

able operational practices: 

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

cific FTD for its own use, in its own facility 
or elsewhere—this single FTD forms the 
basis for the sponsorship. The sponsor uses 
that FTD 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 FTD was qualified prior to May 

30, 2008, the 12-month period begins on the 
date of the first continuing qualification 
evaluation 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 FTD use required. 

(c) The identification of the specific FTD 

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

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

ber of FTDs, in its facility or elsewhere. 
Each additionally sponsored FTD 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
