CASR Part 60 covers the use of synthetic training devices.
Part 60 was developed to update, consolidate and replace current rules found in Civil Aviation Order (CAO) 45.0, and documents, FSD-1 and FSD-2, that define requirements for flight simulators and synthetic trainers. Part 60 prescribes the rules for the manufacture, supply, and use of Synthetic Training Devices (STDs), a term which covers a broader range of devices.
Part 60 will allow pilots training in Australia to use a wider range of training aids. Previously pilots were permitted to use an actual aircraft, an approved flight simulator or synthetic trainer. The provisions in the Part will allow pilots to use an aircraft or the choice of STDs.
And the requirement for their use is covered in
CAO 40.2.1 Instrument Ratings.
Do I win a prize?
