Title: Flight Simulation Device Qualification  
Abstract: The FAA is amending the regulations to establish flight simulation training device qualification requirements in a new part. The new part consolidates and updates flight simulation training device requirements that currently exist in different parts of the FAA's regulations and in advisory circulars. In addition, the FAA is requiring that sponsors have a Quality Management System. This rule will ensure that users of flight simulation training devices receive training in devices that closely match the performance and handling characteristics of the aircraft being simulated.
