23 - MMI Reporting and Tracking

PURPOSE

This procedure defines requirements for reporting and tracking Missing, Malfunctioning, or

Inoperative components of an FSTD. It covers components determined to be MMIs (22 -

MMI Classification Policy) and intends to satisfy requirements found in §60.25, and Appendix

E, Table E1, Element 31(a)(b). Also reference NSP Guidance Bulletin 08-01.

SCOPE

This policy shall include all FSTDs owned, operated or sponsored by [SPONSOR].

RESPONSIBILITY

_____ is responsible for maintenance and dissemination of this process; _______is/are

responsible for execution.

PROCEDURE

(Reference NSP Guidance Bulletin 08-01 found at:

http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/nsp/flight_training/bulletins/)

1. Enter a Discrepancy in DRTS (Discrepancy Reporting and Tracking System).

2. Enter applicable information. The person completing the DR may or may not know if the problem is indeed an MMI. If the person writing the DR does not know, it will be the

responsibility of the person performing corrective action to make the determination. The

S-MR or Chief Pilot may also be consulted. If an MMI is appropriate, notify the S-MR,

and enter the details in the MMI part of the Administrative section of the DR report.

3. Record an entry in the MMI list within DRTS.

4. If the MMI has been open for 30 days, the S-MR will obtain the most current NSP Evaluation Report Form (T002), and enter applicable information into the “Sponsor

Reportable MMI Components” section. Complete processing is explained in the

instructions located on the T002 form.

5. E-Mail the form to the NSP Duty Officer at 9-aso-avr-sim- [email protected]. If e-mail service is unavailable, an alternate fax number is provided on the T002 form. (Note that the

reporting requirement is only applicable to MMI component discrepancies that will remain

uncorrected beyond thirty days of being recorded).

6. NSP should respond within five business days and we retain implied authorization to continue operating the FSTD during this time period. It is expected that a reasonable

request for extension to correct MMI component(s) will be granted by the NSPM as long

as appropriate training, checking, and testing restrictions have been imposed by.

7. If additional extensions are required repeat steps 4 to 6 above.
