60, Appendix C, Qualification Performance Standards for Helicopter Full Flight Simulators, as existing from time to time;
       Note   At the time this instrument commences, the latest issue of the FARs, Subchapter D, Part 60 (Flight Simulation Training Device Initial and Continuing Qualification and Use) (14 CFR Part 60) is the issue published in 2016. This issue is also known as "FARs Part 60, Change 2".
(b) the latest issue of the EASA Certification Specifications for Helicopter Flight Simulation Training Devices (CS-FSTD(H)), as existing from time to time.
       Note   At the time this instrument commences, the latest issue of the EASA Certification Specifications for Helicopter Flight Simulation Training Devices (CS-FSTD(H)) is Initial issue dated 26 June 2012 (Annex to ED Decision 2012/011/R).

5 Transitional arrangements — aeroplane qualified flight simulator standards
       (1) If the current qualification level of an aeroplane qualified flight simulator was determined in accordance with a standard mentioned in subsection (2), the standard for the assessment during a recurrent evaluation of the aeroplane qualified flight simulator against that qualification level is that standard as existing at the time that qualification level was determined.
Example
If an aeroplane flight simulator was qualified on 1 January 2010 at Level A, B, C or D using a standard mentioned in subsection (2), then any recurrent evaluation of the simulator would check that the simulator continues to meet that standard as it existed on 1 January 2010, not that standard as it exists on the date of the recurrent evaluation.
       (2) For subregulation 60.020 (1) of CASR, the standards for subsection (1) are any of the following:
(a) Chapter 3 of Manual of Standards Part 60 – Synthetic Training Devices;
(b) Operational Standards and Requirements – Approved Flight Simulators (FSD‑1), published by CASA;
(c) the ICAO Manual of Criteria for the Qualification of Flight Simulators (ICAO Doc 9625-AN/938, first edition, dated 1995).
       Note   See paragraph 14.1.1 of FSD-1 Version 6.2, which refers to this standard as the International Standards for the Qualification of Airplane Flight Simulators.
       (3) However, if CASA has changed the qualification level of the aeroplane qualified flight simulator after this instrument commences, the standard for the assessment during a recurrent evaluation of the aeroplane qualified flight simulator against the qualification level as changed is a standard mentioned in subsection 3 (1).
Note   See subregulation 60.045 (3) of CASR for the qualification level against which a qualified flight simulator must be assessed during a recurrent evaluation, including if CASA has changed the qualification level since the initial evaluation.
       (4) Also, until the end of 24 March 2025, the standard mentioned in subsection (5) applies for the assessment, during a recurrent evaluation or a special evaluation, of an aeroplane qualified flight
