FAA Issues Flight Training Rule Easing Logging Time

Eliminates Requirement For LODA For Instructing And Logging And Compensation

The FAA has published a rule that’s been long awaited by pilots, instructors, and flight schools that ease restrictions on transition training and other specialized instruction in experimental, primary, and limited category aircraft.

The rule was proposed in the summer of 2023 and this issuance finalizes several changes to Parts 61 and 91. It amends regulations for experimental aircraft to permit certain flight training, testing, and checking in the aircraft without having a letter of deviation authority (LODA).

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 extends the rescission of the LODA requirement to limited, primary, and experimental light sport aircraft categories. It also revises amendments related to logging recent fight experience, flight instructor privileges, and related prohibitions on conducting such activities for hire.

The situation came about because of a situation that emerged a few years ago that for a short time made it legally impossible to pay an instructor to train in one’s own aircraft, in this case a warbird. The rule removes those restrictions and makes it easier to approve such operations and creates more opportunities for training available.

The FAA is still working to resolve the question of trainees flying in large warbirds begin able to cycle through different crew stations for training in a single flight. The EAA was instrumental in advocating for the revisions incorporated into the new rule.
