Vision Jet Spurs Proposed Change in ATP Training Regs
The proposal would remove a requirement for multiengine training for pilots seeking an initial ATP concurrently with single-engine rating.

An FAA notice of proposed rulemaking would remove what is considered an unnecessary and unrealistic training requirement in FAR Part 61 for pilots seeking to obtain an initial airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate concurrently with a single-engine airplane type rating. Current regulations require a pilot seeking an ATP certificate concurrently with an airplane type rating to complete training in a simulator that represents a multiengine airplane. However, because of the way the regulations are written, the requirement for training in a multiengine airplane has the unintended effect of applying to a pilot seeking a type rating for a single-engine airplane concurrently with an ATP certificate.
