FAA FSDO Address City, state, Zip Dear Mr.
(Operator Name) requests evaluation of our (Type) airplane flight training device for qualification at Level The (Operator Name) flight training device is fully defined on page _ of the accompanying approval test guide (ATG). We have completed tests of the flight training device and certify that it meets all applicable requirements and the guidance of Advisory Circular (AC) 120-45A. Appropriate hardware and software configuration control procedures have been established.
Pilots we have designated as our representatives have assessed the flight training device and we concur with their finding that it conforms to the (Operator Name) _(Type) _ airplane cockpit configuration and that the simulated systems and subsystems function equivalently to those in the airplane. These pilots have also assessed the performance and flying qualities of the flight training device and we concur with their finding that it represents the respective airplane.
(Added comments as desired.)
Sincerely, FIGURE 1. Application Letter
