Title: Training and Qualification Requirements for Check Airmen and Flight Instructors 
Abstract: This rule amends the training and testing requirements for check airmen and flight instructors who perform their functions in training programs conducted by part 121 and part 135 certificate holders. These amendments are needed to allow check airmen and flight instructors who perform their functions only in flight simulators and flight training devices to do so without having to possess a current medical certificate. The amendments are also needed to make these regulations compatible with proposed regulations for simulator training centers and with the regulations for advanced qualification training programs. Upon reevaluation by FAA, it was determined that this action is not considered significant.
