Statement of Need: It is important to consolidate and update flight simulation device requirements to ensure that users of flight simulation devices receive the best possible training in devices that closely match the performance and handling characteristics of the aircraft being simulated.

Summary of the Legal Basis: Section 44701, title 49 of the United States Code states that the Administrator shall promote safety of flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing minimum standards required in the interest of safety.

Alternatives: The FAA chartered an Aviation Rulemaking Committee to develop alternative rule language to Notice No. 02-11.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: The FAA has placed a Draft Regulatory Evaluation of the NPRM in the docket.

Risks: The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure that users of flight simulation devices receive the best possible training in devices that closely match the performance and handling characteristics of the aircraft being simulated.
