• FSTD Catch-up process General - 1
• Qualification/Recurrent Qualification of older
  STD/FSTDs operated outside the JAA/EASA area
  under the FSTD Catch-up Process (CUP)
• This process has been developed to enable the
  large number of older and not yet JAR-STD / FSTD
  qualified full flight simulators, located outside
  EASA Member States jurisdiction to train
  European licensed flight crews.
• Most of these STD/FSTDs are not available in
  Europe, or only in very limited numbers such that
  the training needs of the European industry
  cannot be satisfied.

• FSTD Catch-up process General - 2
• Qualification of these devices in accordance with
  the latest amendment of JAR-STD/FSTD cannot be
  achieved in a reasonable timescale due to
  technical / economical reasons.
• This process may also be applicable to devices
  located in other geographical areas, subject to
  satisfactory evaluation of local standards and
  recommended practices (SARPS).
• Details of the JAA/EASA FSTD Catch-up Special
  Conditions reflect the potential training,
  operating and environmental differences between
  the JAA JAR-STD 1A Amendment 2 and the FAA AC
  120-40B qualification standards resulting from a
  detailed examination of the differences between
  the two standards.

Update on EASA FSTDs related matters

• FSTD Catch-up process Eligibility 1
• The device must hold a current FAA Qualification
  and meet the standards of AC 120-40B or later (AC
  120-63 for Helicopter devices).
• The FSTD CUP is only applicable for full flight
  simulators first FAA qualified at Level B, C or
  D, on or before October 6, 2005.
• Where adequate training capacity is available on
  devices qualified to the latest amendment of the
  JAR-STD/FSTD, the US/Canadian simulators would be
  required to be at an equivalent standard to be
  eligible for qualification under this process.

21
Update on EASA FSTDs related matters

• FSTD Catch-up process Eligibility 2
• Where adequate training capacity is not available
  on devices qualified to the latest amendment of
  the JAR-STD/FSTD, but the same type of device,
  qualified to the latest amendment of the
  JAR-STD/FSTD, is available, any lower standard
  devices accepted for qualification under this
  process may be required to be brought up to the
  latest amendment of the JAR-STD/FSTD within a
  reasonable timescale, where it is technically
  feasible and economically viable to do so.
• Any JAR-STD/FSTD qualification issued under this
  process will be subject to an annual recurrent
  evaluation.
