It seems to me that these notes are intended to RESTRICT FTD use, by preventing someone with a Level 1 FTD from doing something that wasn't originally approved. I don't see how it would grandfather in all FTDs for any original acceptable use. Yes, but per the FAA Inspector's Handbook one of the original acceptable uses is a complete IPC so now an FTD will remain "restricted" to this use. So for example an IPC will remain possible in a Level 1 FTD but for the purpose of an IFR checkride the FTD will not be usable for a circling approach because a circling approach was not originally an explicitly approved maneuver. This is the text from the Inspector's handbook: B. For use under 14 CFR§ 61.57(d)(1)(ii). Regulatory authorization for pilot use of a level 1 FTD to conduct all or part of an instrument competency check, consisting of a representative number of tasks required for the instrument rating practical test when given by an authorized instructor: . Aviation Simulation Technology, Inc.: AST 201 and 300 Models . ATC Flight Simulator Company: ATC 112H, 610, 710, 810, and 920 Models . Frasca International, Inc.: 121, 122, 131, 132, 141, 142, 241, 242, 242T, and 342 Models . Pacer Systems Corporation: MK II Models -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |

![]() B. For use under 14 CFR§ 61.57(d)(1)(ii). Regulatory authorization for pilot use of a level 1 FTD to conduct all or part of an instrument competency check, consisting of a representative number of tasks required for the instrument rating practical test when given by an authorized instructor: Seems to me that the phrase "consisting of a representative number of tasks" modifies "instrument competency check", and the correct English parsing of the sentense would restrict the use only to those IPCs which consist of a representative number of tasks. IPCs which do not would not be permitted. It could (of course) be argued that since "all the tasks" is representative of the required tasks, that an IPC which consists of all the tasks is also an IPC which consists of a representative number of tasks. Isn't language wonderful! Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
