 (1A) The operator must establish and maintain a quality system that ensures the correct operation and maintenance of the simulator or device.
 (2) The quality system must cover at least the following matters:
 (a) quality policy;
 (b) management responsibility;
 (c) document control;
 (d) resource allocation;
 (e) quality procedures;
 (f) internal audit.
Note: The quality system may be structured according to the size and complexity of the operator's organisation, in accordance with the requirements set out in the following documents:
(a) AS/NZS ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System Requirements;
(b) SQAP:2000 Simulator Quality Assurance Program Standard published by the FAA.

60.065  Ongoing fidelity requirements
 (1) The operator of a qualified flight simulator or qualified flight training device must, progressively during the 12 months after the issue of the applicable flight simulator qualification certificate or flight training device qualification certificate, perform:
 (a) all validation tests mentioned in the master QTG for the simulator or device; and
 (b) all functions and subjective tests within the current (and any planned) training program (or an equivalent sample approved by CASA).
 (2) The operator must establish a configuration management system to ensure the continued integrity of the equipment and software of the simulator or device.
 (3) The operator must maintain an on‑going modification program to ensure that the equipment, software and performance of the simulator or device accurately simulates the aircraft specified in the certificate.

60.070  Modification of qualified flight simulator or qualified flight training devices
 (1) The operator of a qualified flight simulator or qualified flight training device must notify CASA, in writing, if it proposes to modify the equipment or software of the simulator or device in a way that will change the characteristics of the simulator or device.
 (2) If CASA receives a notice under subregulation (1), CASA may conduct an evaluation (a special evaluation) of the simulator or device as it is proposed to be modified.
 (3) Subject to subregulations (4) and (5), regulations 60.030 and 60.035 apply in respect of a special evaluation in the same way as they apply to the initial evaluation.
 (4) If CASA decides not to conduct a special evaluation:
 (a) the operator may make the proposed modification of the simulator or device; and
 (b) the flight simulator or flight training device qualification continues to be in force.
 (5) During a special evaluation, a simulator or device must be assessed against:
 (a) the qualification level at which the simulator or device was qualified at the initial qualification or accreditation of the
