• ED Decision 2026/006/R found in: Easy Access Rules for Aircrew (Oct 2026)

##### GM1 ARA.FSTD.100(d) Evaluation procedure *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. *[applicable from 30 April 2028 — ED Decision 2026/006/R]*
