Have given orreceived at least 25 hours ofdual instruction in the type of airplane involved. 5. Both the instructor providing training under this exemption, and the PIC receiving the training continuously agree that the proposed training, under the conditions in evidence at the time, canbe conducted safely. Gary J. Ohlinger's principal base ofoperation is located at hanger A 12, TacomaNarrows Airport (TIW), Gig HarborWashington. Mr. Ohlinger is the holder offlight instructor certificate number 1479373CFIA,I&G. He has in excess of 10,000 flight hours and over 1000 hours ofdual instruction The primarypurpose ofthis exemption is in the public interest and safetyby encouraging pilots ofthrow-over control equipped Beechcraft Bonanza airplanes to seek currency and/or continuation training, especially in their own aircraft, thus ensuring their currency, proficiency, and overall safety. The cost required to rent and install dual controls for the limited purpose ofcurrency or proficiency training is significant enough that it is a deterrent to pilots who would otherwise partake ofthis training. Many insurance companies, realizing the importance oftraining in the aircraft the pilot/ownerregularly flies, provide an incentive for pilots to train in their own aircraft in the form ofa discount rather than training in another aircraft even ifthat aircraft may have dual controls. Approval ofthis exemption will encourage pilots to take recurrent training in their own aircraft and make them safer. Also, mynew home address is: Gary J. Ohlinger 4338 Thornton Rd.
