(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 tr
9、aining, 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. (c) The requirements of 60.33 regard-ing falsificatio
10、n 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 ar
11、e 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
12、-son is nonetheless claimed for purposes of meeting any requirement of this chapter or that person knows or should have known that the persons acts or omissions would cause another person to mistakenly credit use of the FSTD for purposes of meeting any require-ment of this chapter.

15、rt; (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 persons acts
16、 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
17、 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) Appe

19、e 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 unles
20、s the sponsor has established and follows a quality management system (QMS), currently approved by the National Simulator Program Manager (NSPM), for the con-tinuing surveillance and analysis of the sponsors performance and effective-ness in providing a satisfactory FSTD for use on a regular basis a
21、s 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 NSPM finds that the QMS program does not adequately address the proce
22、dures necessary to meet the requirements of this part, the sponsor must, after notification by the NSPM, change the program so the pro-cedures meet the requirements of this part. Each such change must be ap-proved by the NSPM prior to imple-mentation. (d) Within 30 days after the sponsor receives a
23、notice described in para-graph (c) of this section, the sponsor may file a petition with the Director of Flight Standards Service (the Director) for reconsideration of the NSPM find-ing. The sponsor must address its peti-tion to the Director, Flight Standards Service, AFS1, Federal Aviation Ad-minis
24、tration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591. The filing of such a petition to reconsider stays the notice pending a decision by the Director. However, if the Director finds that there is a situation that requires immediate action in the interest of safety in air commerce, he may, upon
25、a statement of the reasons, require a change effective without stay. Doc.
