Training Scenarios Violate Regulations
Asked by: Lagmanbek 6759 views FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor
We train pilots for flying in remote regions. There are several scenarios which violate normal pattern protocols, e.g., (1) preparing students for right-hand patterns, (2) certain high-performance aircraft, the safest departure pattern is non-standard. Common sense says we can train pilots for scenarios, but is there a statute that applies? Declare an emergency and you can do whatever is required, including violating the reg's. Is there a similar statute somewhere that says one can violate the reg's in order to train for real-life situations? (Note: we're not talking about unsafe or foolish flying, we're talking about controlled situations, e.g. flying practice right-hand patterns at a low-traffic, class G airport and the like.)
