(a) The ATO shall use an adequate fleet of training aircraft or FSTDs appropriately equipped for the training courses provided. The fleet of aircraft shall be composed of aircraft that comply with all requirements defined in Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. Aircraft that fall under points (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, may be used for training if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) during an evaluation process the competent authority has confirmed a level of safety comparable to the one defined by all essential requirements laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139;
(2) the competent authority has authorised the use of the aircraft for training in the ATO.
(b) The ATO shall only provide training in FSTDs when it demonstrates to the competent authority:
(1) the adequacy between the FSTD specifications and the related training programme; (2) that the FSTDs used comply with the relevant requirements of Part-FCL; (3) in the case of full flight simulators (FFSs), that the FFS adequately represents the relevant type of aircraft; and (4) that it has put in place a system to adequately monitor changes to the FSTD and to ensure that those changes do not affect the adequacy of the training programme.

(f) Training envelope The training envelope is the envelope within which all training exercises will be carried out. It should be specified by the ATO in terms of the range of attitudes, speed and g-loads that can be used for training, taking into account:
(1) the training environment; (2) the capabilities of the instructors; and (3) in the case of training in FSTDs, the limitations of the FSTD (as per GM3 FCL.010 for the FSTD training envelope); and (4) in the case of training in aeroplanes, the capabilities and certification of the aircraft, while considering a margin of safety in order to ensure that unintentional deviations from the training envelope will not exceed aircraft limitations. Different training envelopes may be specified for different aeroplane types even within a single training course.
