Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(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

(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.
