Apparently "professionals" will start giving a 15min blurb on usage as part of recurrent. I don't remember if thats for PT's or PC's? or what ever it's called now. Anyway's if it's on the plane, it's ok to start practicing. At least that's the way I heard it, as well as a couple of other guys who were there at the EFB session heard it. I'm sure we'll probably get some FCIF about it at a later date.

The FCIF I referenced is about the EFB in N569FE. It states that line crews may use the EFB ONLY if a member of the testing cadre is part of the crew... otherwise using the EFB is prohibited. This in effect until the testing period is complete (estimated at several weeks from 7 Nov '06.) It doesn't say anything about recurrent training. There isn't a superceding FCIF on the website.
You could go read it yourself. You can Ask Tony. Or you can go with "at least that's the way I heard it". Your call.
