ED Decision 2026/006/R
FSTD EVALUATION REPORT — GUIDANCE ON CLASSIFICATION OF NON-COMPLIANCES (ITEMS)
(a) When providing an evaluation report to the organisation operating the FSTD, the competent authority should classify the non-compliances as either severity A items or severity B items.
(b) When classifying non-compliances as severity A items, the following examples may be considered. This list is not exhaustive and severity A items need to be classified on a case-by-case basis:
(1) subjective tests that deviate from the aircraft behaviour and have adverse impact on training, testing, checking or potentially lead to negative training if the device is used in such condition;
(2) one or several QTG is/are out of tolerance;
(3) the check for the relevant systems has failed;
(4) recurring, systemic or critical defects.
(c) When classifying non-compliances as severity B items, the following examples may be considered. This list is not exhaustive and severity B items need to be classified on a case-by-case basis:
(1) simulation features, systems, subsystems, components or parts that are temporarily inoperative, unusable or operating below their nominal level;
(2) limited use of simulation features, systems, subsystems, components or parts is possible.
For severity B items, the overall serviceability of the FSTD is demonstrated by the organisation.
