4. Read the Background section, 'History of the Proposed Rule'.How many commenters of the Advanced NPRM (ANPRM) agreed and disagreed that academic study leads to a stronger knowledge base, and how many agreed and disagreed this should be credited for flight time when seeking an ATP Rating?(Note: take a look at who agreed and who disagreed.)

5. Who were some of the members of the First Officer Qualification (FOA) Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC)?List at least five.(Check in the Background section under 'History of the Proposed Rule.)

• What Part, Section and Paragraph (e.g. 91.1 (b)) identifies the prerequisites for taking the ATP Practical Test?
• What new Part, Section, Paragraph would be added to the FARs that spells out the ATP Certificate Training Program?
