Docket No. FAA–2009–0800; Directorate Identifier 2009–CE–041–AD.
The FAA is proposing several
changes to our pilot, flight instructor,
and pilot school certification rules.
proposals include requiring pilot-incommand (PIC) proficiency checks for pilots who act as PIC of single piloted, turbojet-powered airplanes; allowing pilot applicants to apply for a private pilot certificate and an instrument rating concurrently; and making allowance in the rule to provide for the issuance of standard U.S. pilot certificates on the basis of an international licensing agreement between the FAA and a foreign civil aviation authority. The FAA has recently entered into such an agreement with the civil aviation authority of Canada.
Question: Does the concurrent PPL and instrument rating apply only to single pilot turbine? (Further along in the Summary it isn't clear) And what is the significance of an agreement with a foreign civil authority? And why Canada?
The FAA is also
proposing to allow pilot schools to use Internet-based training programs without requiring schools to have a physical ground training facility.
This is interesting.
