The FAA has opened for public comment changes being made to the FAA Order 8900.2A (the General Aviation Airman Designee Handbook). I strongly encourage DPEs to review the proposed changes and bring up any concerns.

Comments are due by 10/31/2014.

The proposed changes can be viewed at http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/media/afs/Order_8900.2A_Draft.pdf  or https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/afs_orders/
