SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA

Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The rule allows some experienced pilots who would otherwise 
qualify as flight instructors or check airmen, but who are not 
medically eligible to hold the requisite medical certificate, to 
perform flight instructor or check airmen functions in a simulator.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 27, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by 
e-mail at: [email protected].

data. This collection is necessary to insure that instructors and check 
airmen have completed necessary training and checking required to
