Multiple Choice

According to Flight Instructor limitations, what is the maximum number of different makes and models of airplanes in one day?

Three different makes and models in one day. This limit helps keep the instructor’s proficiency and attention focused on the distinct cockpit layouts, systems, and performance data of each aircraft, reducing the risk of confusion or errors when switching between types. You can fly multiple flights in the same aircraft without issue, but adding a new make/model counts toward the limit. If you already have three different makes/models for the day, any additional instruction involving a fourth distinct aircraft would exceed the rule and would need to be scheduled on a different day or handled with a simulator.
