a. In the event that the NSPM determines
that special equipment or specifically quali-
fied persons will be required to conduct an
evaluation, the NSPM will make every at-
tempt to notify the sponsor at least one (1)
week, but in no case less than 72 hours, in
advance of the evaluation. Examples of spe-
cial equipment include spot photometers,
flight control measurement devices, and
sound analyzers. Examples of specially quali-
fied personnel include individuals specifi-
cally qualified to install or use any special
equipment when its use is required.
b. Examples of a special evaluation include
an evaluation conducted after an FFS is
moved, at the request of the TPAA, or as a
result of comments received from users of
the FFS that raise questions about the con-
tinued qualification or use of the FFS.

EQUIREMENTS
a. In order to be qualified at a particular
qualification level, the FFS must:
(1) Meet the general requirements listed in
Attachment 1 of this appendix;
(2) Meet the objective testing requirements
listed in Attachment 2 of this appendix; and
(3) Satisfactorily accomplish the subjec-
tive tests listed in Attachment 3 of this ap-
pendix.
b. The request described in § 60.15(a) must
include all of the following:
(1) A statement that the FFS meets all of
the applicable provisions of this part and all
applicable provisions of the QPS.
(2) A confirmation that the sponsor will
forward to the NSPM the statement de-
scribed in § 60.15(b) in such time as to be re-
ceived no later than 5 business days prior to
the scheduled evaluation and may be for-
warded to the NSPM via traditional or elec-
tronic means.
(3) A QTG, acceptable to the NSPM, that
includes all of the following:
(a) Objective data obtained from tradi-
tional aircraft testing or another approved
source.
(b) Correlating objective test results ob-
tained from the performance of the FFS as
prescribed in the appropriate QPS.
(c) The result of FFS subjective tests pre-
scribed in the appropriate QPS.
(d) A description of the equipment nec-
essary to perform the evaluation for initial
qualification and the continuing qualifica-
tion evaluations.
c. The QTG described in paragraph (a)(3) of
this section, must provide the documented
proof of compliance with the simulator ob-
jective tests in Attachment 2, Table A2A of
this appendix.
d. The QTG is prepared and submitted by
the sponsor, or the sponsor’s agent on behalf
of the sponsor, to the NSPM for review and
approval, and must include, for each objec-
tive test:
(1) Parameters, tolerances, and flight con-
ditions;
(2) Pertinent and complete instructions for
the conduct of automatic and manual tests;
(3) A means of comparing the FFS test re-
sults to the objective data;
(4) Any other information as necessary, to
assist in the evaluation of the test results;
(5) Other information appropriate to the
qualification level of the FFS.
e. The QTG described in paragraphs (a)(3)
and (b) of this section, must include the fol-
lowing:
(1) A QTG cover page with sponsor and
FAA approval signature blocks (see Attach-
ment 4, Figure A4C, of this appendix for a
sample QTG cover page).
(2) A continuing qualification evaluation
requirements page. This page will be used by
the NSPM to establish and record the fre-
quency with which continuing qualification
evaluations must be conducted and any sub-
sequent changes that may be determined by
the NSPM in accordance with § 60.19. See At-
tachment 4, Figure A4G, of this appendix for
a sample Continuing Qualification Evalua-
tion Requirements page.
(3) An FFS information page that provides
the information listed in this paragraph (see
Attachment 4, Figure A4B, of this appendix
for a sample FFS information page). For
convertible FFSs, the sponsor must submit a
separate page for each configuration of the
FFS.
(a) The sponsor’s FFS identification num-
ber or code.
(b) The airplane model and series being
simulated.
(c) The aerodynamic data revision number
or reference.
(d) The source of the basic aerodynamic
model and the aerodynamic coefficient data
used to modify the basic model.
(e) The engine model(s) and its data revi-
sion number or reference.
