Dave, along the lines of "clarity" which you mentioned:
"Normally aspirated" contrasts with "Supercharged", while
"Carbureted" contrasts with "Fuel Injected".
But that's OK -- we all finally understood what you meant.
If I were renting out fuel-injected or and/or supercharged airplanes,
I'd also want to be sure my renters understood how to operate them.
But I see no reason for the FAA to be involved in the matter.

I understand that, which is why in the original post I stated that he
was only checked out in normally asirated planes. When I hear the
term "checked out" it usually means being authorized to use the planes
of a particular operation. As far as I know the FAA doesn't see any
difference between normally aspirated and fuel injected engines, so I
thought it was obvious it was an operator restriction. Maybe there
is another meaning and if so I will provide more clarity in the
future.
