person would be when each of the fol-

not cause another person to detrimen-
tally rely on such acts or omissions for

FSTD is FAA-approved and qualified
under this part at the time the FSTD
is sold or leased.

§ 60.5
Quality management system.
(a) After May 30, 2010, 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 to meet any require-
ment of this chapter unless the sponsor
has established and follows a quality
management system (QMS), currently
approved by the National Simulator
Program Manager (NSPM), for the con-
tinuing surveillance and analysis of the
sponsor’s performance and effective-
ness in providing a satisfactory FSTD
for use on a regular basis as described
in QPS appendix E of this part.
(b) The QMS program must provide a
process for identifying deficiencies in
the program and for documenting how
the program will be changed to address
these deficiencies.
(c) Whenever the NSPM finds that
the QMS program does not adequately
address the procedures necessary to
meet the requirements of this part, the
sponsor must, after notification by the
NSPM, change the program so the pro-
cedures meet the requirements of this
part. Each such change must be ap-
proved by the NSPM prior to imple-
mentation.
(d) Within 30 days after the sponsor
receives a notice described in para-
graph (c) of this section, the sponsor
may file a petition with the Director of
Flight Standards Service (the Director)
for reconsideration of the NSPM find-
ing. The sponsor must address its peti-
tion to the Director, Flight Standards
Service, AFS–1, Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration, 800 Independence Ave.,
SW., Washington, DC 20591. The filing
of such a petition to reconsider stays
the notice pending a decision by the
Director. However, if the Director finds
that there is a situation that requires
immediate action in the interest of
safety in air commerce, he may, upon a
statement of the reasons, require a
change effective without stay.
