Section 60.15

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

of this section, requests that the standard in effect at the time the order was
placed be used for the evaluation for
initial qualification; and
(iii) The evaluation is conducted
within 24 months following the publication of the change to the existing
standard or publication of the new
standard.
(2) This notification must include a
description of the FSTD; the anticipated qualification level of the FSTD;
the make, model, and series of aircraft
simulated; and any other pertinent information.
(3) Any tests, tolerances, or other requirements that are current at the
time of the evaluation may be used
during the initial evaluation, at the request of the sponsor, if the sponsor provides acceptable updates to the required qualification test guide.
(4) The standards used for the evaluation for initial qualification will be
used for all subsequent evaluations of
the FSTD.
(5) An FSTD sponsor or FSTD manufacturer may submit a request to the
Administrator for approval of a deviation from the QPS requirements as
defined in Appendix A through Appendix D of this part.
(i) Requests for deviation must be
submitted in a form and manner acceptable to the Administrator and
must provide sufficient justification
that the deviation meets or exceeds the
testing requirements and tolerances as
specified in the part 60 QPS or will otherwise not adversely affect the fidelity
and capability of the FSTDs evaluated
and qualified under the deviation.
(ii) The Administrator may consider
deviation from the minimum requirements tables, the objective testing tables, the functions and subjective testing tables, and other supporting tables
and requirements in the part 60 QPS.
(iii) Deviations may be issued to an
FSTD manufacturer for the initial
qualification of multiple FSTDs, subject to terms and limitations as determined by Administrator. Approved deviations will become a part of the permanent qualification basis of the individual FSTD and will be noted in the
FSTD-s Statement of Qualification.
(iv) If the FAA publishes a change to
the existing part 60 standards as de-

scribed in paragraph (c)(1) of this section or issues an FSTD Directive as described in Section 60.23(b), which conflicts
with or supersedes an approved deviation, the Administrator may terminate or revise a grant of deviation authority issued under this paragraph.
(d) The pilot(s) who contributes to
the confirmation statement required
by paragraph (b) of this section must - 
(1) Be designated by the sponsor; and
(2) Be qualified in - 
(i) The aircraft or set of aircraft
being simulated; or
(ii) For aircraft not yet issued a type
certificate, or aircraft not previously
operated by the sponsor or not having
previous FAA-approved training programs conducted by the sponsor, an
aircraft similar in size and configuration.
(e) The subjective tests that form the
basis for the statements described in
paragraph (b) of this section and the
objective tests referenced in paragraph
(f) of this section must be accomplished at the sponsor-s training facility or other sponsor designated location where training will take place, except as provided for in the applicable
QPS.
(f) The person seeking to qualify the
FSTD must provide the NSPM access
to the FSTD for the length of time necessary for the NSPM to complete the
required evaluation of the FSTD for
initial qualification, which includes
the conduct and evaluation of objective
and subjective tests, including general
FSTD requirements, as described in the
applicable QPS, to determine that the
FSTD meets the standards in that
QPS.
(g) When the FSTD passes an evaluation for initial qualification, the NSPM
issues a Statement of Qualification
that includes all of the following:
(1) Identification of the sponsor.
(2) Identification of the make, model,
and series of the aircraft or set of aircraft being simulated.
(3) Identification of the configuration
of the aircraft or set of aircraft being
simulated (e.g., engine model or models, flight instruments, or navigation
or other systems).
(4) A statement that the FSTD is
qualified as either a full flight simulator or a flight training device.
