One thing to note about the FAA: Each FSDO is its own fiefdom, with its own
rules internally. Each interprets the CFRs with heavy doses of opinion. If
one tells you no, chances are another will say yes. That is not to say that
the rule is not the rule, as most CFRs are very cut and dried. But we all
know the grey areas in between, and FSDO interpretation is spotty, at best.
Point being this: when and how you get a certificate depends on the FSDO
you're dealing with, and many times whether the guy is in a good mood or
not. Some are stricter than others.
There's no real point in saying "...my inspector said this...". Each one may
be different.
That being said, you can work within the system by playing your cards right.
If one answer is no, call another FSDO. They might see things differently.
