Research Notes

Research Notes

§ 61.61 is a scope provision establishing that Subpart B applies to aircraft ratings and pilot authorizations not covered by other subparts. There is no AIM cross-reference specific to this section. No significant NTSB cases hinge on § 61.61 alone. Key cross-reference: Subpart B sections address special situations (military, foreign licenses, Cat II/III) that fall outside the standard certificate subparts (C through H).
