6. SPONSOR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
(Section 60.7)
lllllllllllllllllllllll
BEGIN INFORMATION
a. The intent of the language in Section 60.7(b) is
to have a specific FTD, identified by the
sponsor, used at least once in an FAA-approved flight training program for the helicopter 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 acceptable operational practices:
(1) Example One.
(a) A sponsor is sponsoring a single, specific 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 period in that sponsor-s FAA-approved flight
training program for the helicopter simulated. This 12-month period is established according 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
Section 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
Section 60.15. Once the initial or upgrade evaluation
is complete, the first continuing qualification evaluation will be conducted within 6
months. The 12 month continuing qualification evaluation cycle begins on that date and
continues for each subsequent 12-month period.
(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 number 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
Section 60.7(d)(1)); or
