## 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.

## 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.

## 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.
