14 CFR Part 121
[Docket No. 28072; Amendment No. 121-258]
RIN 2120-AF29
Advanced Simulation Plan Revisions
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: These correcting amendments clarify a final rule published
Monday, June 17, 1996 (61 FR 30726). That final rule revised the
Advanced Simulation Plan to update terminology used to describe
simulators, to eliminate the requirement that the minimum of 1 year of
employment as an instructor or check airman be with the operator of the
simulator, and to authorize the use of Level C simulators for initial
and upgrade training and checking for second-in-command duties.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31, 1996.

Mr. Gary E. Davis, Telephone: (202) 267-3747.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Correction
As published, the final rule did not modify the title or remove
references to obsolete ``phrases'' of simulation contained in the
introductory text of Appendix H to 14 CFR part 121, ``Advanced
Simulation Plan.'' Therefore, the June 17, 1996, final rule may prove
to be misleading and is in need of correction.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 121
Air carriers, Aircraft, Federal Aviation Administration.
Accordingly, 14 CFR part 121 is corrected by making the following
correcting amendments:
PART 121--OPERATING REQUIREMENTS: DOMESTIC, FLAG, AND SUPPLEMENTAL
OPERATIONS
1. The authority citation for part 121 continues to read as

Appendix H to Part 121--[Corrected]
2. The heading and the introductory text of Appendix H are revised
to read as follows:
Appendix H to Part 121--Advanced Simulation
This appendix provides guidelines and a means for achieving
flightcrew training in advanced airplane simulators. This appendix
describes the simulator and visual system requirements which must be
achieved to obtain approval of certain types of training in the
simulator. The requirements in this appendix are in addition to the
simulator approval requirements in Sec. 121.407. Each simulator
which is used under this appendix must be approved as a Level B, C,
or D simulator, as appropriate.
To obtain FAA approval of the simulator for a specific level,
the following must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Administrator:
1. Documented proof of compliance with the appropriate
simulator, visual system, and additional training requirements of
this appendix for the level for which approval is requested.
2. An evaluation of the simulator to ensure that its ground,
flight, and landing performance matches the type of airplane
simulated.
3. An evaluation of the appropriate simulator and visual system
requirements of the level for which approval is requested.
