告诉HN：FAA正在推动削弱小型飞行学校的力量
简而言之：提议的FAA（联邦航空局）变更要求考官在测试之前，必须在您所使用的飞机型号上至少有五小时的飞行时间。由于存在数百种略有不同的型号变体（例如Cessna 172P与172R），大多数考官无法满足每架飞机所需的特定飞行小时数。这实际上使大多数本地考官失去资格，造成巨大的积压，使得几乎不可能找到合法允许进行飞行检查的考官。
FAA已发布对FAA命令8000.95D Chg 1的提议变更，这些变更直接影响指定飞行考官（DPEs）的操作方式以及飞行学校安排和进行实际测试的方式。提交意见的截止日期即将到来——1月23日星期五晚上11:59。请在这些提议变更成为最终政策之前，审阅并提供反馈。
如果您按照本消息末尾的说明和链接操作，提交意见将非常快速和简单。
提议变更的关键摘要 FAA命令8000.9D Chg 1
对DPE进行飞行教员考试的限制：这些变更将限制DPE进行飞行教员实际测试的能力。这一限制可能会显著减少考官的灵活性和可用性，特别是对高流量飞行学校的影响。相关内容见第3卷，第5章，第2节，H段，第（3）和（15）项。
新的PIC（机长）时间要求：考官在进行单发飞机的检查飞行之前，必须在每种型号上至少有五小时的机长飞行时间。此要求可能会限制可用考官的数量，并可能导致排期延误。相关内容见第3卷，第1章，第2节，表3-3。
收费规定：提议的变更将禁止DPE在申请人资格在预考简报中确定之前收取任何费用。这可能会给考官和飞行学校带来行政负担，可能会使排期和支付过程变得复杂。相关内容见第3卷，第5章，第2节，C段，第（7）和（8）项。

TL;DR: The proposed FAA changes require examiners to have at least five hours of flight time in the exact model of airplane you are using before they can test you. Because there are hundreds of slightly different model variations (like a Cessna 172P vs. a 172R), most examiners won't have the specific hours needed for every plane. This effectively disqualifies the majority of local examiners, creating massive backlogs and making it nearly impossible to find someone legally allowed to give you a checkride.<p>The FAA has released proposed changes to FAA Order 8000.95D Chg 1 that directly affect how designated pilot examiners (DPEs) operate and how flight schools schedule and conduct practical tests. The deadline to submit comments is fast approaching-11:59 PM Friday night, January 23rd. Please review and provide feedback on these proposed changes before they become final policy.<p>Comments are quick and easy if you follow the instructions and links the end of this message.<p>Summary of Key Proposed Changes FAA Order 8000.9D Chg 1
Restrictions on DPEs Conducting Flight Instructor Examinations: The changes would limit the ability of DPEs to administer flight instructor practical tests. This restriction could significantly reduce the flexibility and availability of examiners, particularly impacting high-volume flight schools. Found in Volume 3, Chapter 5, Section 2, paragraph H, items (3) & (15).<p>New PIC Time Requirements: Examiners would be required to have at least
five hours of pilot-in-command (PIC) time in each make and model before conducting a check ride in single engine aircraft. This requirement may limit the pool of available examiners and could lead to scheduling delays. Found in Volume 3, Chapter 1, Section 2, Table 3-3.<p>Fee Collection Provision: The proposed changes would prohibit DPEs from collecting any fees until after the applicant's eligibility is determined during the pre-test briefing. This could create administrative burdens for both examiners and flight schools, potentially complicating the scheduling and payment process.
