What training is required to act as pilot in command of a technically advanced airplane (TAA)?

To act as pilot in command of a technically advanced airplane (TAA), no specific checkout or endorsement is required. This reflects the understanding that while a technically advanced airplane has features such as advanced avionics and systems, the FAA does not mandate a special endorsement solely based on the aircraft's classification as a TAA.

Instead, pilots are expected to be properly trained and proficient in operating any aircraft they intend to fly. This includes having the necessary knowledge and practical experience related to the specific systems and technology in the TAA, but it does not necessitate a formal endorsement or checkout from a flight instructor specifically for that category of aircraft.

Pilots are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the specific systems of a TAA through training, but this is more about ensuring safety and operational competence rather than being a regulatory requirement. Therefore, option B highlights the flexibility and responsibility placed on pilots to manage their own training and proficiency concerning advanced aircraft.
