Existing training is grandfathered out of the TSA rule
http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf90/300465_web.pdf
Central paragraph: "The regulation's requirements for flight training on aircraft with an MTOW of 12,500 pounds or less do not take effect until October 20, 2004. Flight students who are enrolled in such flight training prior to October 20, 2004, are not subject to the regulation." That's the only comment so far from the TSA on the docket. As written, it leaves open some questions. For example, it seems to allow you to switch instructors during training, depending on whether you read the letter in the narrow context of the rule. At a stretch, you could even say you are in perpetual training from the day of your first lesson. -- David Brooks |

My biggest question remains if BFRs count as training. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ "Our documented process says that I must now laugh in your face and double our price." - Dilbert's boss does ISO-9000 |

They also say this is NOT an FBO requirement but a CFI requirement. The CFI is personally responsible for keeping this info. If someone comes to you from another CFI they would need to reprove citizenship. I'm sure this will change daily. -Robert, CFI |

And thanks, Paul, for posting #292, and having the courage to call out by
name what those TSA operatives told you. -- David Brooks Believe!!!!! "paul k. sanchez" wrote in message ... And IPC's. -jav And night proficiency, avionics software, weather training, crosswind techniques, line-oriented cross country, mountainous areas, insurance qualification courses for aircraft, etc. Anything that is not required for recurrency of a type rating is considered "normal" training and therefor the non-US citizen must apply to the TSA for the training course. And of course fork over $130 for each application, and let's not forget that the instructor has to take a picture of the non-US citizen pilot as he shows up for the appointment. I will fight this tooth and nail. My plan is otherwise known as civil inconvenience. paul k. sanchez, cfii-mei on eagles' wings 10643 shore drive boca raton, florida 33428-5645 305-389-1742 wireless 561-852-6779 home/fax |
