Changes in Instrument Proficiency Check Requirements

Yes. I mean, why use the phraseology of "representative number of
tasks" if the actual list is spelled out? Obviously the framers of
the reg didn't anticipate the PTS saying explicity what to do.

I think this gets PRECISELY to the heart of the matter.

As I mentioned as well elsewhere in this thread, the new PTS effective in
October does indeed now try to supercede the FARs by stating explicitly how
to perform an IPC -- read the last sentence of this quote from the newest
PTS:

Instrument Proficiency Check. 14 CFR part 61.57(d) sets forth the
requirements for an instrument proficiency check. The person giving that
check shall use the standards and procedures contained in ths PTS when
administering the check. A representative number of TASKs, as determined by
the examiner/instructor, must be selected to assure the competence of the
applicant to operate in the IFR environment. As a minimum, the applicant
must demonstrate the ability to perform the TASKs as listed in the above
chart.

Be interesting to solicit a letter of interp on this

Yes, it would be interesting.
