Title: Aviation Training Devices; Pilot Certification, Training, and Pilot Schools; Other Provisions (RRR) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would relieve burdens on pilots seeking to obtain aeronautical experience for certification and recency by promoting increased use of aviation training devices which have proven an effective, safe, and affordable means of obtaining pilot experience. The rulemaking also addresses changing technologies by accommodating the use of electronic logbooks and providing an alternative that permits pilots to train in technologically-advanced airplanes in place of older complex single engine airplanes. Additionally, the rulemaking broadens the opportunities for military instructors to obtain civilian ratings based on military experience, expands opportunities for logging pilot time, and removes a burden on sport pilot instructors by permitting them to serve as safety pilots. Finally, this rulemaking corrects several unintended burdens resulting from a 2009 final rule and codifies several exemptions.
