Thanks for pointing that out, although the FAA does not have a legal leg to stand on with this...FAR 61 still appears to allow this, and FAA order 8900.1 (FSIMS) clearly and explicitly says it is OK.
They cannot hold people responsible for fantasy rules which exist only in their own mind, there is no reasonable requirement that every time we want to do something authorized by the regs that we have to go look for FAA interpretations which contradict the regs.
Maybe someday they will all of their ducks in a row.
