So, I need some help here. I'm getting some conflicting information from instructors and i'm a little confused on the subject.
Back in April, FAA removed the requirement for complex airplane to be used in the practical test. Great! Wish they did it a few weeks earlier(waisted 14 hours in an expensive Arrow), but still great. The 10h training requirement stayed. Not so great: needed 4h more dual time in Arrow. But i switched to Cessna 172S(steam). Way cheaper and way more familiar.
Now, starting in late August (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-06-27/pdf/2018-12800.pdf), they are allowing Technically Advanced Aircraft(TAA), G1000 and alike, to be used for training instead of or in conjunction with complex. Excellent! Takes care of my Arrow problem since i have lots of training time in G1000 airplanes.
What i'm confused about is if the Practical Test requires TAA or if steam Cessna is ok . This would make me have to yet again switch the aircraft to DA40 since we don't have G1000 Cessna here.
