Dear Mr. Towels: 

Thanic you for your letter dated Oct 1,2010 in reference to our request for an exemption from 

§141,5(d) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. You stated in your letter that the relief we are 

seeking is now covered under the amended regulation. Because of the wording in the revised 

amendment, our POt and FSDO still have a problem In renewing our 141 certificate. They have 

InstfLicted me to return to your office for clarification. 

The revised amendment reads in pertinent part: (emphasis added) 

(d) l-las established a pass rate of BO percent or higher on the first attempt for alt 

knowledge test leading to a certificate or rating, practical tests leading to a certificate or 

rating, or end-of-course tests for an approved training course specified in appendix K 

of this part 

All of the courses offered by RTC use FTD's only. Therefore, our pilot refresher courses are part 

141.67 Special Currfeuta and may not technically be in appendix K. RTC's training courses 

contain features that achieve a level of pilot proficiency equivalent to the Pilot Refresher Course 

in appendix K. (See enclosed TCO.) 

The intent of 141.5(d) is to measure the quality of training. It is also apparent that If an approved 

course leads to certification or a rating, then the test must be the official FAA knowledge test or 

the official FAA practical test in the PTS. However, in the case where a course does not lead to a 

rating, there is no official FAA test. This leaves only an end of course test to measure quality 

from. It should also be noted that 141 .&(d) uses the words ft^ratl indicating that all approv ^ 

courses need to be tested under the quality of training aspectSocouldourendofcoursetest be used to meet the requirement of 141.5(d). or do we need to 

continue with the exemption process? 

Thank you,

Section of Title 14 CFR 

Recurrent Training Center requests an exemption to 14 CFR 141.5 (d). which reads in 

pertinent part: 

§ 141.5 Requirements for a pilot school certificate. 

The FAA may issue a pilot school certificate with th6 appropriate ratings if. within (he 24 calendar months 

before the date application Is made, the applicant— 

(a) Completes the application for a pilot school certificate on the form and In the manner prescribed by the 

FAA; 

(b) Has held a provisional pilot school certificate; 

(c) Meets the applicable requirements under subparts A through C of this part for the school certificate and 

associated ratings sought; 

(d) Has trained and recommended at least 10 different people for a knowledge test or a ptmctictil test, or 

any combination Thersof. and at least 60 percent of those persons passed their tests on the first attempt; 

and; (emphasis added) 

(e)Hasgraduatedat least 10 d/Abrent people from the school's approved training courses (emphasis 

added). 

RTC currently holds a pilot school certificate #R9KS949K that expires August 2011. 

We are seeking relief fi-om the requirement to have our students pass a Practicat or 

Knowledge test as stated in 141.5(d). Part 141.5 was amended October 2009 to reflect 

this requirement. It must be noted that the purpose of 141 5 as frequently stated by the 

FAA in the Federal Register is to ensure quality of training. 

The previous regulation allowed for students to pass an end of course test for courses 

that did not result in a certificate or rating. These courses are special preparation 

£0 39tfd 9NI>1WW3nna JO 3DIJJ 0 9i0gzL92202 BE: IT TI0S/E2/80 
courses listed in appendix K of part 141. The certification and rating courses are listed in 

(Appendixes A through J) of part 141. In the Federal Register dated April 21, 2009 and 

Federal Register February 7, 2007 the FAA stated that they propose to amend § 141.5 

to clarity that the 10 graduates must be 10 different people. 

Relief sought 

The relief we seek would be to substitute an end of course test for the knowledge test 

requirement, We will not need any relief on the number of students as last year we 

trained 514 pilots. 

72 PR 5811 Feb 7, 2007 

(79) Proposal to claiify that the ' 'counlun' 'for a pilot school's or provisionul piSoi school's ROperxxni or higher pass 

rait: must be 10 differ^M people. 

The FAA proposes to amend § 141.5 to clarify the meaning of the phrase "a quality of training pass rate of 

at least BO percent." The purpose is to establish that the "counters" for the required 80 percent or higher 

school pass rate must be taken from 10 different graduates, meaning 10 drfferent people. A graduate can 

only be cojnfted once in computing the 80 percent pass rate or the first attempt. The wording of existing § 

141.S has raised questions concerning how many graduates have to have graduated, Some have argued 

that one person could be counted as all 10 graduates. The FAA disagrees and proposes to amend § 141.5 

to clartfy that the 10 graduates must be 10 different people. The FAA believes that requiring the pass rate to 

t>e calculated from 10 different graduates is a better measure of the school's quality of training and provides 

a mofe realistic view of the school's pass rate. 

Benefit to the public 

This substitution would allow RTC to renew their pilot school certificate and continue to 

provide annual pilot refresher training to operators and pilots of small aircraft under part 

141. Keeping this training under part 141 would provide for the appropriate surveillance 

and supervision of RTC's training program. The public interest would be served by RTC 

operating as an approved school. 

Adding a course of training that would lead to students taking a Practical Test for 

certification would require the expenses for equipment, aircraft, and personnel for what 

would be projected as a small number of RTC's total students. If for example we added 

a course for private pilot we would project 10 students per year vs. over 500 for our Pilot 

Refresher Courses. This cost would have to be passed on to the students taking the 

refresher courses not serving the public interest. 

Currently we know of no other schools that offer a pilot refresher course approved under 

part 141. There is an adequate number of part 141 schools that offer pilot rating courses 

in our area. One of the important parts of a business is the ability to specialize and to do 

one thing great. By specializing in pilot refresher courses resources are not diluted 

resulting in a constantly improving product. It is in the public interest considering that, 

"Enrollment in a certificated school [a part 141 school] usually ensures higher quality and 

continuity of training." These schools meet prescribed standards with respect to 

equipment, facilities, personnel, and curricula and are reviewed on a regular basis by the 

FAA to ensure quality training.

Reason why exemption would not adversely affect safety 

This relief would not affect safety as it does not have anything to do with operations 

instruction or supervision. 

Additional Information 

As mentioned above in the last twelve months RTC has trained 514 pilots in our part 141 

courses. The number is about 20% lower than previous years due to the downturn in the 

economy. We do however anticipate a return to the higher levels this year and into 2011. 

All of RTC's cun-ent courses are established to give pilots the training required by 

14 CFR 61.56 flight review and 61.57 recent flight experience: Pilot in command. 

A copy of one of our syllabus is enclosed. 

History of RTC RTC began in 1988 to provide simulator based training in FTD's to 

general aviation pilots for high performance single engine and multi-engine aircraft. 

In 1991 RTC was approved to participate In the FAA Wings Program. In November 2002 

a question came up for our continued participation in the FAA Wings Program because 

of a language change in the Advisory Circular (AC61-91F) to (AC61-91G). After sending 

documentation of our courses and having discussions with Mr. Michael Henry at AFS 

800 the FAA agreed that RTC may continue to conduct the FAA Wings Program using 

our Level 3 FTD's. Provided we applied for a Part 142 certification and approval was 

completed in 120 days. {See attached letter.) 

RTC applied for 142 certification and requested a waiver from 142,15 (d) (a requirement 

for at least one level 6 FTD ) The waiver was accepted and RTC completed 142 

certification in May 2003. In Movember of 21!)04 we were notified that we could no longer 

be a 142 center unless we had a level 6 FTD. This led to discussions with AFS 800 at 

which we were told that RTC should conduct its courses under Part 141. AFS 800 

issued a Grant of Authorization to continue the FAA Wings Program with a requirement 

to become a Part 141 school. In August of 2007 RTC received Part 141 certification. 

In the past the FAA has granted similar exemptions to schools that would specialize in 

an area of training. BALLOON ASCENSIONS. LTD. Exemption No. 1935 was issued an 

exemption to specialize In balloon training without having a course of instruction in 

aircraft. At the time Part 141 did not provide for the issuance of a pilot school certificate 

with lighter-than-air ratings. However, the holder of a pilot school certificate with one or 

more of the flying school ratings listed in Section 141.9 was, allowed under Subpart D of 

Part 141, to obtain approval of a free balloon pilot certification course. 

The FAA stated they believe it reasonable to allow BAL to be certificated as a 

commercial flying school for free balloons and further that petitioner's request is unique 

and that an exemption would be in the public interest. A similar group of exemptions was 

granted to SEMCO BALLON exemption # 2205.

Summary for Federal Register 

Recurrent Training Center requests en exemption to the provisions of 14 CFR 141.5 (d). 

The regulation requires that In the previous 24 months a school must have trained and 

recommended at least 10 different people for a knowledge test or a practical test, or any 

combination thereof, and at least 80 percent of those persons passed their tests on the 

first attempt. RTC specializes in pilot refreshercourses using FTD's under their part 141 

school and does not offer a course of training for a pilot certificate or rating. This would 

require them to develop a course, purchase and maintain an aircraft to train 10 students. 

RTC requests that it use the end of course written knowledge test given to the students 

that take their refresher courses as an alternative measurement of the quality of training. 

The public interest would be served by RTC operating as an approved school under the 

supervised oversight of the FAA. and prevent additional cost being passed onto other 

students.

Dear Mr. Killeen: 

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Pilot Proficiency Award 

Program. 

Paragraph 7e of Advisory Circular 61-91F, Pilot Proficiency Award 

Program, states that the completion of a training program which 

requires the use of a simulator and/or training device may be 

substituted for the 3 hours of required instruction in a category 

of aircraft. The provision for substitution of training was not 

intended to be limited to only the organizations named in the 

paragraph as examples. 

I have examined the product information for your simulator 

training program and concur that your course does meet all of the 

requirements for the training substitution referenced in the 

advisory circular. 

Thank you for your interest in the Pilot Proficiency Award 

Program. He appreciate your effort to encourage pilots to 

participate in the program. 

Sincerely,
