Pt. 60, App. A 

the last scheduled continuing qualification 
evaluation. 

(2) A selection of approximately 8 to 15 ob-

jective tests from the MQTG that provide an 
adequate opportunity to evaluate the per-
formance of the FFS. The tests chosen will 
be performed either automatically or manu-
ally and should be able to be conducted with-
in approximately one-third (

1

⁄

3

) of the allot-

ted FFS time. 

(3) A subjective evaluation of the FFS to 

perform a representative sampling of the 
tasks set out in attachment 3 of this appen-
dix. This portion of the evaluation should 
take approximately two-thirds (

2

⁄

3

) of the al-

lotted FFS time. 

(4) An examination of the functions of the 

FFS may include the motion system, visual 
system, sound system, instructor operating 
station, and the normal functions and simu-
lated malfunctions of the airplane systems. 
This examination is normally accomplished 
simultaneously with the subjective evalua-
tion requirements.

a. The notification described in § 60.23(c)(2) 

must include a complete description of the 
planned modification, with a description of 
the operational and engineering effect the 
proposed modification will have on the oper-
ation of the FFS and the results that are ex-
pected with the modification incorporated. 

b. Prior to using the modified FFS: 
(1) All the applicable objective tests com-

pleted with the modification incorporated, 
including any necessary updates to the 

MQTG (e.g., accomplishment of FSTD Direc-
tives) must be acceptable to the NSPM; and 

(2) The sponsor must provide the NSPM 

with a statement signed by the MR that the 
factors listed in § 60.15(b) are addressed by 
the appropriate personnel as described in

a. The sponsor’s responsibility with respect 

to § 60.25(a) is satisfied when the sponsor fair-
ly and accurately advises the user of the cur-
rent status of an FFS, including any miss-
ing, malfunctioning, or inoperative (MMI) 
component(s). 

b. It is the responsibility of the instructor, 

check airman, or representative of the ad-
ministrator conducting training, testing, or 
checking to exercise reasonable and prudent 
judgment to determine if any MMI compo-
nent is necessary for the satisfactory com-
pletion of a specific maneuver, procedure, or 
task. 

c. If the 29th or 30th day of the 30-day pe-

riod described in § 60.25(b) is on a Saturday, a 
Sunday, or a holiday, the FAA will extend 
the deadline until the next business day. 

d. In accordance with the authorization de-

scribed in § 60.25(b), the sponsor may develop 
a discrepancy prioritizing system to accom-
plish repairs based on the level of impact on 
the capability of the FFS. Repairs having a 
larger impact on FFS capability to provide 
the required training, evaluation, or flight 
experience will have a higher priority for re-
pair or replacement.
