The FAA has adopted its four-year-old proposed rule to revise simulator and flight training device (FTD) requirements and consolidate them into a new FAR Part 60.  The new rule, which has been under discussion for more than four years, is slated to go into effect next October and gives those affected until 2013 to be in full compliance.

According to the FAA, the purpose of the new regulation is to establish qualification requirements for flight simulation training devices (FSTD). The new Part 60 consolidates and updates FSTD requirements that exist in different parts of the FAA’s regulations and in advisory circulars.
