Title: Revisions to the Pilot, Flight Instructor, Ground Instructor, and Pilot School Certification Rules (Part 61)  
Abstract: This rulemaking would add the requirements for night vision goggles, simplify the use of flight training devices and allow the conversion of military flight training experience to civilian teaching. These changes would clarify our existing regulations. The intended effect of these actions is to allow the use of current aviation devices and to ease transition from military to civilian duty.
