<body>
<p>This action would align the pilot training tasks and authorized Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) levels used in air carrier training programs to the technical FSTD qualification standards that are defined in part 60. This action will also incorporate additional part 60 defined FSTD levels into the pilot training and proficiency checking requirements which will allow carriers to have more options to utilize lower fidelity and less costly FSTDs where appropriate for specific training tasks. Aligning the tasks and authorized FSTD levels in part 121 with the technical FSTD qualification standards in part 60 will bring greater administrative efficiencies to industry and other stakeholders.</p>
