You do know that when this topic come up before after some discussion you changed your position from what you just stated.eyeflygps wrote:Sometimes FAR's/CFR's seem vague or are vague. In that case you may find one CFI who is willing to simulate this training and another who wants to do it in "actual conditions." If I was still instructing, since I am in the north Georgia area, I would do the Class D at a Class D airport and give you the Class D endorsement. We would do the Class B and Class C in actual Class B and Class C airspace and they would be separate endorsements. If we were out in the boonies and there was no Class B or Class C within a reasonable distance, I would probably simulate it. I would only give you the endorsement if I was confident you were totally proficient to operate in Class B and/or Class C.
I thought Class D replaced the old Airport Traffic Area.eyeflygps wrote:I would do it at a Class D tower controlled airport since I have never seen a tower controlled airport that was not Class D, at least since Class D replaced the old Control Zone.
