Can we skip the I-9?

I know there will be changes in the training program, as was discussed in a few other threads. Until then, can we skip the I-9 and just make it optional for now?

Negative, the rating still stands for now, it just means you have to pick up a jet for the time being.

When I did the I-9, I tried to choose the simplest jet. Nonetheless, the automation spent the entire flight trying to kill me. Especially at the end!

I never figured out why the throttles kept going to idle after I joined the ILS. I cleared the airport fence by mere inches on the verge of a stall.

Passed, though... Yay for jets! :roll:

In planning for the I-9 I noticed a speed restriction of 280 kias at the GRAMM intersection. The only jet I fly is the Citation Mustang, which is limited to 250 kias. So, do I need to get a faster jet, or can the restriction be waived?

TIA for any advice.
