Yeah, it looks so. So after all this hoopla there was no change at all? The text below is current as of Oct 21st. The correction on the original proposal, as I can see it, is that they brought back the requirement that I have highlighted in red:

"(2) If the type rating is for a turbojet airplane, the applicant must—
(i) Hold a type rating in a turbojet airplane of the same class of airplane, and that type rating may not contain a supervised operating experience limitation;
(ii) Have 1,000 hours of flight time in two different turbojet airplanes of the same class of airplane;
(iii) Have been appointed by the U.S. Armed Forces as pilot in command in a turbojet airplane of the same class of airplane;
(iv) Have 500 hours of flight time in the same type of airplane; or
(v) Have logged at least 2,000 hours of flight time, of which 500 hours were in turbine-powered airplanes of the same class of airplane for which the type rating is sought."



Had the regs been changed to what the initial proposal was it would have affected me since I didn't have a prior turbojet type, but now it's all back to what it used to be. Well, well I got a X type out of it so I can't complain .
