When the CBIR was introduced, there was a requirement for an initial evaluation flight, before the course could be started.
At the time, it was clearly stated, and I saw it in writing, that this could not be included in the course, and it didn't count towards the final course total. I've continued instructing these courses ever since, on that basis.
Today, however, this question came up, and now I am unable to find any reference to the exclusion, or otherwise of the evaluation flight.
Can anyone point me towards any official reference that states one way or the other?
