Holds for currency requirements

(Teacherjh) wrote in message ...

If the PC-ATD is certified for logging instrument time, then I would infer that
a hold done there would be fine. Howver, in order for the time to count (and
the hold to count) there must be an instructor preseent and supervising
(according to my understanding of logging flight simulator time)

Can someone point to the reg that allows logging PC-ATD time for
currency? It is my understanding that only simulators and flight
training devices may be used to log time for currency or IPC (61.57).

FAA Letter dated 19 Dec 2003 from Robert A. Wright, Manager, General
Aviation and Commercial Division allows certain Elite PCATDS./
Note this is the PCATD version with specific hardware.

There IS a requirement of a CFI for time logged for ratings, experience and
proficiency checks.

There is NOT a requirement for 61.57(c)(1) currency.

You must also report use of the machine annually to the local FSDO and have
a copy of the letter on display.

Elite can furnish a copy of the letter if it is relevant because you own a
PCATD.

I can email you a copy if you need one because you own a PCATD.
