§ 60.35 

§ 60.35

Specific full flight simulator 

compliance requirements. 

(a) No device will be eligible for ini-

tial or upgrade qualification to a FFS 
at Level C or Level D under this part 
unless it includes the equipment and 
appliances installed and operating to 
the extent necessary for the issuance of 
an airman certificate or rating. 

(b) No device will be eligible for ini-

tial or upgrade qualification to a FFS 
at Level A or Level B under this part 
unless it includes the equipment and 
appliances installed and operating to 
the extent necessary for the training, 
testing, and/or checking that comprise 
the simulation portion of the require-
ments for issuance of an airman cer-
tificate or rating. 

§ 60.37

FSTD qualification on the basis 

of a Bilateral Aviation Safety Agree-
ment (BASA). 

(a) The evaluation and qualification 

of an FSTD by a contracting State to 
the Convention on International Civil 
Aviation for the sponsor of an FSTD 
located in that contracting State may 
be used as the basis for issuing a U.S. 
statement of qualification (see applica-
ble QPS, attachment 4, figure 4) by the 
responsible Flight Standards office to 
the sponsor of that FSTD in accord-
ance with— 

(1) A BASA between the United 

States and the Contracting State that 
issued the original qualification; and 

(2) A Simulator Implementation Pro-

cedure (SIP) established under the 
BASA. 

(b) The SIP must contain any condi-

tions and limitations on validation and 
issuance of such qualification by the 
U.S.
