FAA proposed change regarding instrument currency

I didn't notice at first glance any additional requirements, such as
an instructor needing to be present when using these devices. This to
me certainly would make staying instrument current much easier, as you
could accomplish the requirements at home on a personal computer using
an approved software app. I think Elite is one such approved
application (at least when used in conjunction with an instructor)
right now.

Anybody have any thoughts on this change?

You also need the hardware that goes with the softwa the radio stack
etc. in order for it to qualify as a PCATD. I believe you also need an
instructor present, and it may need the instructor's console connected
as well.
