Change 4 (January 15, 2015)
• Revised Note in “Aircraft and Equipment Required for the
Practical Test” section of Introduction and added paragraph
4 clarifying when a non-complex airplane is required for the
practical test. These edits are intended to make clear that a
complex aircraft is not required when adding an airplane
class rating to an existing flight instructor certificate that
already contains an airplane category and class rating. The
FAA finds the requirements for the use of a complex
airplane are not necessary when the applicant has already
satisfactorily demonstrated the takeoff, landing, emergency,
and other Tasks contained within this PTS in a complex
airplane.
