“Appliance” – Why Do You Care?
A Practical Question in 14 CFR Compliance
This session allows participants with confirmed knowledge of the regulatory definition of “appliance” to put the term in context of other requirements created by the rules. This training builds on cumulative information provided in the pre-requisite sessions (see the series below). Participants must be able to answer the pre-test questions before the session begins (click here to take the pre-test; a score will be provided as soon as complete).

If you needed help with the pre-test questions, the “definition” sessions below can be purchased as part of a bundle (scroll down or click here for more information).
Please note that since these sessions are less than an hour long, special pricing applies.
Session 1: “Appliance” Defined
This session provides participants a lesson in reading regulations with a critical eye. Many aviation terms used during the “normal” course of a day are taken for granted. Meanings and expectations are set by “tribal knowledge” rather than first-hand review. This session helps ensure each word in a aviation safety regulation is read carefully so any exceptions or conditions are understood.
