91.207 ELT requirement exceptions re: training flights
Asked by: Skyfox 4436 views FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Student Pilot
91.207 requires an aircraft be equipped with an emergency locator transmitter, with certain exceptions. Subparagraph (f) (3) states this requirement does not apply to "Aircraft while engaged in training operations conducted entirely within a 50-nautical mile radius of the airport from which such local flight operations began."
My question is, does this apply only to dual flights with a student and instructor on board? Or does this also apply to student solo flights that remain local or otherwise within the 50 NM limit? I'm not entirely sure what the FAA definition of a training operation is in this regard.
