60.025  Application for flight simulator qualification or flight training device qualification
 (1) The operator of a flight simulator or flight training device may apply to CASA, in writing, for qualification of the simulator or device.
Note 1: An application must be in the approved form, include all the information required by these Regulations and be accompanied by every document required by these Regulations—see regulation 11.030.
Note 2: Part 11 deals with applications and decision making.
 (2) An application must include:
 (a) a QTG for the simulator or device; and
 (b) a document describing the quality system that the operator proposes to use to satisfy regulation 60.060.
Note: For further guidance see Advisory Circulars 60‑1, 60‑3 and 60‑4.

60.030  Initial evaluation and qualification
 (1) If CASA receives an application for the qualification of a flight simulator or flight training device, CASA must conduct an evaluation (an initial evaluation) of the simulator or device, including consideration of:
 (a) any inspection or trial of the simulator or device; and
 (b) the data provided in the QTG; and
 (c) information available from any test conducted during the initial evaluation.
Note: CASA may arrange for an evaluation to be conducted by an evaluation team: see regulation 60.090.
 (2) If, after the initial evaluation, CASA is satisfied that:
 (a) the operator's quality system will be suitable for the simulator or device; and
 (b) the simulator or device meets a qualification level;
CASA must qualify the simulator or device at the qualification level.
Note: Under regulation 201.004, an application may be made to the Administrative Review Tribunal for review of:
(a) a decision refusing to qualify, or cancelling, suspending or varying, the qualification of, a simulator or device; or
(b) a decision imposing a condition on the qualification of a device.
 (3) CASA may qualify a simulator or device that will simulate a new type of aircraft for which fully validated aircraft data is not available at an interim qualification level that is based on partially validated aircraft data.
 (4) An interim qualification level applies for the period agreed between CASA and the operator of the simulator or device.
 (5) If CASA qualifies a simulator or device, it must at the same time approve the QTG for the simulator or device.

60.035  Issue of flight simulator qualification certificate or flight training device qualification certificate
 (1) CASA must issue a flight simulator qualification certificate to the operator of a flight simulator, or a flight training device qualification certificate to the operator of a flight training device, if CASA qualifies the simulator or device.
 (2) The certificate must include the name of the operator and:
 (a) include information identifying the simulator or device; and
 (b)
