New FAA Ruling Allows Logging Of More Flight Sim For Instrument Training

Thanks to the AOPA (Airplane Owners & Pilots Association), the FAA is allowing more flight sim time for instrument training in an Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) like the Redbird MCX Full-Motion Flight Simulator.

In addition, the FAA has removed the need to wear a view-limiting device when undergoing instrument flight training in an AATD.

 

The updated FAA regulations relating to these two positive changes can be referenced here:
