submit an outline that describes the major topics and subtopics to be 
covered and the number of hours proposed for each.
    (c) Additional subject headings for an aircraft dispatcher 
certification course may also be included, however the hours proposed 
for any subjects not listed in appendix A of this part must be in

    (d) For the purpose of completing an approved course, a student may

for it, must be placed in the student's record required by Sec. 65.70(a) 
of this part.
