Simulator Certifications
Thinking of acquiring a new Flight Training Device? The regulations around Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) are complex. Strategic Air can support you from the start by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your options, right through to developing the compliance documentation, factory acceptance testing and certification - including under CASR Part 60. We write both Synthetic Trainer Operating Manuals (STOMs) and Simulator Quality Management Systems (SQMS).
Understanding the Regulations
The regulations are complex. Our team includes people who helped draft many of the aviation and space regulations. Our CEO Dr Tony Stanton is the former Senior Manager of CASA Flight Standards Branch, we therefore have the inside knowledge on the policy, the intent and the correct interpretation of the standards. Let us help you know what the regulation actually requires.
