I had a student today that got his private in December of 69 and his commercial in December of 71. He claimed that he was grandfathered in for the instrument regulation that prevents you from flying for hire at night without an instrument rating. He said he was still held by the bounds of the 50NM regulation but that the night regulation had been grandfathered in and he could do it.
On another FAR he claimed he did not need a complex or high performance sign off as both of these were grandfathered in as well. I have never read anything or heard of anything like this before but without proof one way or another I didn't want to argue.
If anyone has some information they can provide here it would be much appreciated, thanks.
