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.

My biggest question remains if BFRs count as training.

EAA seems to think that recurrent training is not considered flight
training. http://www.eaa.org/communications/ea...ienupdate.html

AOPA disagrees. 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.
