Section 60.19

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)
may be amended by an FSTD Directive.
(2) The sponsor must contact the
NSPM to schedule the FSTD for continuing qualification evaluations not
later than 60 days before the evaluation is due.
(3) The sponsor must provide the
NSPM access to the objective test results in the MQTG and access to the
FSTD for the length of time necessary
for the NSPM to complete the required
continuing qualification evaluations.
(4) The frequency of NSPM-conducted
continuing qualification evaluations
for each FSTD will be established by
the NSPM and specified in the Statement of Qualification.
(5) Continuing qualification evaluations conducted in the 3 calendar
months before or after the calendar
month in which these continuing qualification evaluations are required will
be considered to have been conducted
in the calendar month in which they
were required.
(6) No sponsor 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
for the flight crewmember to meet any
requirement of this chapter unless the
FSTD has passed an NSPM-conducted
continuing qualification evaluation
within the time frame specified in the
Statement of Qualification or within
the grace period as described in paragraph (b)(5) of this section.
(c) Maintenance. The sponsor is responsible for continuing corrective and
preventive maintenance on the FSTD
to ensure that it continues to meet the
requirements of this part and the applicable QPS appendix. No sponsor may
use or allow the use of or offer the use
of an FSTD for flight crewmember
training, evaluation, or flight experience to meet any of the requirements
of this chapter unless the sponsor does
the following:
(1) Maintains a discrepancy log.
(2) Ensures that, when a discrepancy
is discovered, the following requirements are met:
(i) A description of each discrepancy
is entered in the log and remains in the
log until the discrepancy is corrected
as specified in Section 60.25(b).

(ii) Not restored under Section 60.27 for two
(2) years or more, then the qualification basis (in terms of objective tests
and subjective tests) for the re-qualification will be those standards in effect and current at the time of re-qualification application.
(d) Except as provided in paragraph
(e) of this section, any change in FSTD
qualification level initiated on or after
May 30, 2008 requires an evaluation for
initial qualification in accordance with
this part.
(e) A sponsor may request that an
FSTD be permanently downgraded. In
such a case, the NSPM may downgrade
a qualified FSTD without requiring
and without conducting an initial evaluation for the new qualification level.
Subsequent continuing qualification
evaluations will use the existing
MQTG, modified as necessary to reflect
the new qualification level.
(f) When the sponsor has appropriate
validation data available and receives
approval from the NSPM, the sponsor
may adopt tests and associated tolerances described in the current qualification standards as the tests and tolerances applicable for the continuing
qualification of a previously qualified
FSTD. The updated test(s) and tolerance(s) must be made a permanent part
of the MQTG.
