2/10 complexity

This exemption allows flying instructors employed by Singapore Flying College to bypass a standard aviation safety rule, but only under strict conditions.

Normally, instructors must comply with paragraph 5.70(a) of the Civil Aviation Regulations when conducting flying training. This instrument permits instructors at this specific college to skip that requirement only if:

Aircraft restriction: Training happens only in Cessna 172 or Beechcraft 58 aircraft
Student experience requirement: Students must already have 20 hours of flight experience (including 5 hours as pilot in command and 2 hours of instrument flight time), plus they must have passed a special flight test approved by CASA as equivalent to the standard general flying progress test
Employment limitation: The exemption only applies when instructors are working for Singapore Flying College

The exemption operated for a fixed period from August 2004 to July 2006.
