Changes in Instrument Proficiency Check Requirements

Do you have an online link to the current PTS?

Was there a newer version of the IFR PTS which was issued in between with a
number betweeen 8081-4C and 8081-4D and which requires a circling approach?
If so, then I stand corrected in that regard but then I ask the question
regarding how in August 2003 my Level 3 FTD was granted authorization for an
instrument proficiency check and I ask the question regarding how the very
recently approved Advanced ATD devices have been approved for conducting an
instrument proficiency check.

The current PTS is FAA-S-8081-4C with changes 1 and 2. Change 2 added the
Rating Task Table and was issued 3/11/99. I couldn't find it online so I
posted it on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation.

The question about FTD authorization for an IPC is interesting. The PTS
includes an appendix showing task credit for simulation devices, and the only
ones that count for circling approach or landing (both required for IPC
according to the Rating Task Table) are Levels C and D.
