Alien training rule

training for "recreational pilot, sport pilot, or private pilot
certificate; multiengine rating; or instrument training". If I've got an
PP-ASEL-IA, does going for my ASES (float rating) constitute going for
another private pilot certificate, or is it just an add-on to my existing
certificate?


My FSDO says yes, it's another rating. Then again, they might not know
what they're talking about.

Ask them to show you where it says that. The only two ratings that need
TSA approval are the instrument and multi-engine ratings. The TSA
document is very clear despite its insanity.

I really prefer to associate with them as little as humanly possible.
This was a conversation that came up when I *had* to go in there. We
were just shooting the breeze, so i wasn't looking for references or
anything.
