Twin Wasp - Thanks for the reference. It seems to offer contradictory evidence to what the FAA actually did.
Rickair - that's what I was thinking too as I read the reference TW posted. I already have an ATP/MEL so the way I read it, I have already performed the maneuvers that would delete the CL restriction.
I guess I need to go to law school to figure this stuff out.
Thanks to all for their input. As confusing as it's getting, I now know where to start the conversation with the FAA!
