wouldn't be called an STANDARD (PTS). if it wasn't a standard. Yup,
it's binding. Call 'em up like you finally did last time.


I do appreciate your help regarding the prior issue. Your advice was quite
correct and was confirmed by my inquiry to multiple FAA sources, by my
cross-check with multiple FAA written documents, and by inquiry to my FTD
manufacturer.

In this case the situation is different: every FTD manufacturer in
existence without exception supports the use of an FTD for a complete IPC
today, several FAA documents and personnel do support the use of an FTD for
an IPC, and every FTD manufacturer I have spoken with so far initially was
puzzled by the new PTS but has ultimately come to the conclusion that an IPC
will indeed remain legal in an FTD.
