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.

§ 60.5
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.
(c) Whenever the responsible Flight
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.
