Code of Federal Regulations - Title 14

14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition)

§ 60.27

missing, malfunctioning, or inoper-
ative (MMI) component that is re-
quired to be present and correctly oper-
ate for the satisfactory completion of
that maneuver, procedure, or task.

(b) Each MMI component as de-

scribed in paragraph (a) of this section,
or any MMI component installed and
required to operate correctly to meet
the current Statement of Qualification,
must be repaired or replaced within 30
calendar days, unless otherwise re-
quired or authorized by the NSPM.

nents must be readily available in or
adjacent to the FSTD for review by
users of the device. Electronic access
to this list via an appropriate terminal
or display in or adjacent to the FSTD
is satisfactory. The discrepancy log
may be used to satisfy this require-
ment provided each currently MMI
component is listed in the discrepancy
log.

§ 60.27

Automatic loss of qualification

and procedures for restoration of
qualification.

(a) An FSTD qualification is auto-

matically lost when any of the fol-
lowing occurs:

(1) The FSTD is not used in the spon-

sor’s FAA-approved flight training pro-
gram in accordance with § 60.7(b)(5) or
(b)(6) and the sponsor does not obtain
and maintain the written statement as
described in § 60.7(d)(2).

(2) The FSTD is not inspected in ac-

cordance with § 60.19.

(3) The FSTD is physically moved

from one location and installed in a
different location, regardless of dis-
tance.

(4) The MQTG is missing or otherwise

not available and a replacement is not
made within 30 days.

(b) If FSTD qualification is lost

under paragraph (a) of this section,
qualification is restored when either of
the following provisions is met:

(1) The FSTD successfully passes an

evaluation:

(i) For initial qualification, in ac-

cordance with §§ 60.15 and 60.17(c) in
those circumstances where the NSPM
has determined that a full evaluation
for initial qualification is necessary; or

(ii) For those elements of an evalua-

tion for initial qualification, in accord-

ance with §§ 60.15 and 60.17(c), as deter-
mined to be necessary by the NSPM.

(2) The NSPM advises the sponsor

that an evaluation is not necessary.

scribed in paragraph (b) of this section,
the NSPM considers factors including
the number of continuing qualification
evaluations missed, the number of
sponsor-conducted quarterly inspec-
tions missed, and the care that had
been taken of the device since the last
evaluation.

§ 60.29

Other losses of qualification

and procedures for restoration of
qualification.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph

(c) of this section, when the NSPM de-
termines that the FSTD no longer
meets qualification standards, the fol-
lowing procedure applies:

(1) The NSPM notifies the sponsor in

writing that the FSTD no longer meets
some or all of its qualification stand-
ards.

(2) The NSPM sets a reasonable pe-

riod (but not less than 7 days) within
which the sponsor may submit written
information, views, and arguments on
the FSTD qualification.

(3) After considering all material pre-

sented, the NSPM notifies the sponsor
about the determination with regard to
the qualification of the FSTD.

(4) When the NSPM notifies the spon-

sor that some or all of the FSTD is no
longer qualified, the action described
in the notification becomes effective
not less than 30 days after the sponsor
receives that notice unless—

(i) The NSPM finds under paragraph

(ii) The sponsor petitions the Direc-

tor of Flight Standards Service for re-
consideration of the NSPM finding
under paragraph (b) of this section.

(b) When a sponsor seeks reconsider-

ation of a decision from the NSPM con-
cerning the FSTD qualification, the
following procedure applies:

(1) The sponsor must petition for re-

consideration of that decision within 30
days of the date that the sponsor re-
ceives a notice that some or all of the
FSTD is no longer qualified.
