§ 60.25

Operation with missing, mal-

functioning, or inoperative compo-
nents. 

(a) No person may knowingly use or 

allow the use of or misrepresent the ca-
pability of an FSTD for any maneuver, 
procedure, or task that is to be accom-
plished to meet training, evaluation, or 
flight experience requirements of this 
chapter for flight crewmember certifi-
cation or qualification when there is a 
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 responsible 
Flight Standards office. 

(c) A list of the current MMI compo-

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.

matically lost when any of the fol-
lowing occurs:

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 respon-
sible Flight Standards office has deter-
mined 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 respon-
sible Flight Standards office.

office advises the sponsor that an eval-
uation is not necessary. 

(c) In making the determinations de-

scribed in paragraph (b) of this section,

ducted quarterly inspections missed,
