63426, Oct. 30, 2006, unless otherwise noted.

§ 60.1

Applicability.

(a) This part prescribes the rules gov-

erning the initial and continuing quali-
fication and use of all aircraft flight
simulation training devices (FSTD)
used for meeting training, evaluation,
or flight experience requirements of
this chapter for flight crewmember cer-
tification or qualification.

(b) The rules of this part apply to

each person using or applying to use an
FSTD to meet any requirement of this
chapter.

ing falsification of applications,
records, or reports also apply to each
person who uses an FSTD for training,
evaluation, or obtaining flight experi-
ence required for flight crewmember
certification or qualification under
this chapter.

§ 60.2

Applicability of sponsor rules to

persons who are not sponsors and
who are engaged in certain unau-
thorized activities.

(a) The rules of this part that are di-

rected to a sponsor of an FSTD also
apply to any person who uses or causes
the use of an FSTD when—

(1) That person knows that the FSTD

does not have an FAA-approved spon-
sor; and

(2) The use of the FSTD by that per-

son is nonetheless claimed for purposes
of meeting any requirement of this
chapter or that person knows or should
have known that the person’s acts or
omissions would cause another person
to mistakenly credit use of the FSTD
for purposes of meeting any require-
ment of this chapter.

14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition)

§ 60.3

(b) A situation in which paragraph

(a) of this section would not apply to a
person would be when each of the fol-
lowing conditions are met:

(1) The person sold or leased the

FSTD and merely represented to the
purchaser or lessee that the FSTD is in
a condition in which it should be able
to obtain FAA approval and qualifica-
tion under this part;

(2) The person does not falsely claim

to be the FAA-approved sponsor for the
FSTD;

(3) The person does not falsely make

representations that someone else is
the FAA-approved sponsor of the FSTD
at a time when that other person is not
the FAA-approved sponsor of the
FSTD; and

(4) The person’s acts or omissions do

not cause another person to detrimen-
tally rely on such acts or omissions for
the mistaken conclusion that the
FSTD is FAA-approved and qualified
under this part at the time the FSTD
is sold or leased.

§ 60.3

Definitions.

In addition to the definitions in part

1 of this chapter, other terms and defi-
nitions applicable to this part are
found in appendix F of this part.

§ 60.4

Qualification Performance

Standards.

The Qualification Performance

Standards (QPS) are published in ap-
pendices to this part as follows:

(a) Appendix A contains the QPS for

Airplane Flight Simulators.

(b) Appendix B contains the QPS for

Airplane Flight Training Devices.

Helicopter Flight Simulators.

(d) Appendix D contains the QPS for

Helicopter Flight Training Devices.

(e) Appendix E contains the QPS for

Quality Management Systems for
FSTDs.

(f) Appendix F contains the QPS for

Definitions and Abbreviations for
FSTDs.

§ 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 responsible Flight
Standards office, for the continuing
surveillance and analysis of the spon-
sor’s performance and effectiveness 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.

Standards office 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 respon-
sible Flight Standards office, change
the program so the procedures meet
the requirements of this part. Each
such change must be approved by the
responsible Flight Standards office
prior to implementation.

(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 Executive
Director of Flight Standards Service
(the Executive Director) for reconsider-
ation of the responsible Flight Stand-
ards office finding. The sponsor must
address its petition to the Executive
Director, Flight Standards Service,
Federal Aviation Administration, 800
Independence Ave., SW., Washington,
DC 20591. The filing of such a petition
to reconsider stays the notice pending
a decision by the Executive Director.
However, if the Executive Director
finds that there is a situation that re-
quires immediate action in the interest
of safety in air commerce, he may,
upon a statement of the reasons, re-
quire a change effective without stay.
