MJ, hey buddy, yeah I'm repeating what got told to me when I was converting and that's what I had to do. Turns out the FSDO (Dulles) that I did mine with didn't have a clue about part 61 ops and I basically blew $ thanks to their incompetence. When i got onto the Richmond FSDO they said it was much simpler than what Dulles had me do and it turned into a P$ssing match between the two FSDOs with me stuck in the middle jumping through everyones hoops. But I never saw that Pt61.41 that Tinsaaflt put on there and of course no one pointed it out to me either 'round conversion time. Sad that foreigners know the rules better than the FAA.
Oh that NY stuff is old. I'm based down here in RIC with TSA. Sorry about that, I hope ya'll don't have any ill-will towards us there at ACA. United doesn't like us anyway. Good luck with Indy Air, everyone's cheering for ya.
