Part 60 : Flight Simulator Training Devices

Subpart 1 : General

60.01.10 Flight simulator or flight training device approvals

 

(1) A person who proposes to be the user of a qualified flight simulator or qualified flight training device must apply to SACAA, in writing, for approval to do so.

Note For further guidance see TGM Flight Simulator Approvals.

 

(2) In considering whether to grant an approval, SACAA must take into account:
(a) the differences between the characteristics of the flight simulator or flight training device and the characteristics of a specific type (or a specific make, model and series) of aircraft, whether or not the user operates such an aircraft; and
(b) the proposed user's operating and training competencies.

 

(3) SACAA may also take into account any other matter that affects the way the simulator or device operates or may be used.

 

(4) An approval:
(a) must be in writing;
(b) may be issued subject to conditions that are set out in the approval; and
(c) will be granted in terms of SA-CAA FSTD Training/Testing credits contained in SA-CATS 60.

 

(5) An approval takes effect on the date of issue and continues in force unless the applicable flight simulator qualification or flight training device qualification ceases to be in force.

 

(6) However, if SACAA is satisfied that any matter that was taken into account under subregulation (2) or (3) has changed, SACAA may, by notice in writing to the user, vary, suspend or cancel the approval.
