5.      Classification of items 

UNACCEPTABLE

An item that fails to comply with the required standard and, therefore, affects the level of qualification or the qualification itself. If these items will not be corrected or clarified within a given time limit, the (competent authority) should have to vary, limit, suspend or revoke the FSTD qualification.

 

RESERVATION

An item where compliance with the required standard is not clearly proven and the issue will be reserved for a later decision. Resolution of these items will require either:

1.       a competent authority policy ruling; or

2.       additional substantiation.

 

UNSERVICEABILITY

A device that is temporarily inoperative or performing below its nominal level.

 

LIMITATION

An item that prevents the full usage of the FSTD according to the training, testing and checking considerations due to the unusable devices, systems or parts thereof.

 

RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPROVEMENT

An item that meets the required standard, but where considerable improvement is strongly recommended.

 

COMMENT

Self-explanatory

 

Period of Rectification

As set out in AMC2 ARA.FSTD.100(a)(1) point (b):

Following an evaluation, it is possible that a number of defects are identified. Generally, these defects should be rectified and the competent authority notified of such action within 30 days. Serious defects, which affect flight crew training, testing and checking, could result in an immediate downgrading of the qualification level, or if any defect remains unattended without good reason for a period greater than 30 days, subsequent downgrading may occur or the FSTD qualification could be revoked.
