INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE for FLIGHT SIMULATION TRAINING DEVICE QUALIFICATION (ICFQ)

On September 22nd 2009, the ICFQ ran a workshop for FSTD Regulators, Operators and other interested parties. The aim of the Workshop was to brief the industry on the content and status of ICAO 9625 rev.3 and to enter a discussion on how the advantages of these international standards can be used to obtain mutual recognition between regulators and a harmonisation of approval processes.

It was attended by 40 delegates from 12 different countries, including 9 different national regulators. Members of the ICFQ gave presentations on ICAO 9625, rev.3, some of the current problems facing FSTD operators and the perceived opportunities and benefits of mutual recognition.
