Code of Federal Regulations - Title 14

14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition)

Pt. 60, App. A

r. Problems with objective test results are

handled as follows:

(1) If a problem with an objective test re-

sult is detected by the NSP evaluation team
during an evaluation, the test may be re-
peated or the QTG may be amended.

(2) If it is determined that the results of an

objective test do not support the level re-
quested but do support a lower level, the
NSPM may qualify the FFS at that lower
level. For example, if a Level D evaluation is
requested and the FFS fails to meet sound
test tolerances, it could be qualified at Level
C.

s. After an FFS is successfully evaluated,

the NSPM issues a Statement of Qualifica-
tion (SOQ) to the sponsor. The NSPM rec-
ommends the FFS to the TPAA, who will ap-
prove the FFS for use in a flight training
program. The SOQ will be issued at the satis-
factory conclusion of the initial or con-
tinuing qualification evaluation and will list
the tasks for which the FFS is qualified, ref-
erencing the tasks described in Table A1B in
Attachment 1 of this appendix. However, it is
the sponsor’s responsibility to obtain TPAA
approval prior to using the FFS in an FAA-
approved flight training program.

t. Under normal circumstances, the NSPM

establishes a date for the initial or upgrade
evaluation within ten (10) working days after
determining that a complete QTG is accept-
able. Unusual circumstances may warrant
establishing an evaluation date before this
determination is made. A sponsor may
schedule an evaluation date as early as 6
months in advance. However, there may be a
delay of 45 days or more in rescheduling and
completing the evaluation if the sponsor is
unable to meet the scheduled date. See At-
tachment 4 of this appendix, Figure A4A,
Sample Request for Initial, Upgrade, or Re-
instatement Evaluation.

u. The numbering system used for objec-

tive test results in the QTG should closely
follow the numbering system set out in At-
tachment 2 of this appendix, FFS Objective
Tests, Table A2A.

v. Contact the NSPM or visit the NSPM

Web site for additional information regard-
ing the preferred qualifications of pilots used
to meet the requirements of § 60.15(d).

w. Examples of the exclusions for which

the FFS might not have been subjectively
tested by the sponsor or the NSPM and for
which qualification might not be sought or
granted, as described in § 60.15(g)(6), include
windshear training and circling approaches.

a. In instances where a sponsor plans to re-

move an FFS from active status for a period
of less than two years, the following proce-
dures apply:

(1) The NSPM must be notified in writing

and the notification must include an esti-
mate of the period that the FFS will be inac-
tive;

(2) Continuing Qualification evaluations

will not be scheduled during the inactive pe-
riod;

(3) The NSPM will remove the FFS from

the list of qualified FSTDs on a mutually es-
tablished date not later than the date on
which the first missed continuing qualifica-
tion evaluation would have been scheduled;

(4) Before the FFS is restored to qualified

status, it must be evaluated by the NSPM.
The evaluation content and the time re-
quired to accomplish the evaluation is based
on the number of continuing qualification
evaluations and sponsor-conducted quarterly
inspections missed during the period of inac-
tivity.

(5) The sponsor must notify the NSPM of

any changes to the original scheduled time
out of service;

b. Simulators qualified prior to May 30,

2008, are not required to meet the general
simulation requirements, the objective test
requirements or the subjective test require-
ments of attachments 1, 2, and 3 of this ap-
pendix as long as the simulator continues to
meet the test requirements contained in the
MQTG developed under the original quali-
fication basis.

c. After May 30, 2009, each visual scene or

airport model beyond the minimum required
for the FFS qualification level that is in-
stalled in and available for use in a qualified
FFS must meet the requirements described
in attachment 3 of this appendix.

d. Simulators qualified prior to May 30,

2008, may be updated. If an evaluation is
deemed appropriate or necessary by the
NSPM after such an update, the evaluation
will not require an evaluation to standards
beyond those against which the simulator
was originally qualified.
