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 JARSTD/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 JARSTD/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.
