The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), part of the Department of Transportation, has issued a notice about a petition from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The university is seeking an exemption from certain parts of the federal regulations, specifically Β§β141.33(a)(3). They want to allow someone who doesnβt have a flight instructor certificate, but who meets other requirements, to teach in a flight simulator for a pilot certification program. The public can submit comments on this petition until April 7, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Embry-Riddle, a school for pilots, wants special permission to let some people teach flying in a simulator even if they don't have a teacher's license for flying. The school thinks these people are still good teachers, and everyone can share their thoughts until April 7, 2025.
