I can't find anything about this. But I recall it being posted on here awhile back. Does anyone have any links or info. about this subject.

Thanks so much for any help.

No one, including Transport, has a clue about what's going on with that.

still says 40 hours. No one has said what the additional study and knowledge areas must be, and they must be substantial, given the doubling of the requirement.

In CYYC, we've been told that once the CAR's are updated to say 80 hours, it will be 80 hours. No extensions.

We've been told by Transport that self study times and all the gound briefings for multi rating and IFR rating counts towards 80 hour requirements.

and the self study one needs to be signed off by instructor only.

I don't know how this rumor got started, but if it is true it would be nice if TC sent the flight schools a memo to give us a heads up.

The rumor started with the numbers published in the AIM...

Thank you for the reference, that will suffice as a heads up for me.
