Section 61.41 Flight training received from
flight instructors not certificated by
the FAA.
(a) A person may credit flight training toward the requirements of a pilot
certificate or rating issued under this
part, if that person received the training from:
(1) A flight instructor of an Armed
Force in a program for training military pilots of either - 
(i) The United States; or
(ii) A foreign contracting State to
the Convention on International Civil
Aviation.
(2) A flight instructor who is authorized to give such training by the licensing authority of a foreign contracting
State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and the flight
training is given outside the United
States.
(b) A flight instructor described in
paragraph (a) of this section is only authorized to give endorsements to show
training given.
Section 61.43 Practical tests: General procedures.
(a) Completion of the practical test
for a certificate or rating consists of - 
(1) Performing the tasks specified in
the areas of operation for the airman
certificate or rating sought;
(2) Demonstrating mastery of the aircraft by performing each task successfully;
(3) Demonstrating proficiency and
competency within the approved standards; and
(4) Demonstrating sound judgment.
(b) The pilot flight crew complement
required during the practical test is
based on one of the following require-

ments that applies to the aircraft being
used on the practical test:
(1) If the aircraft-s FAA-approved
flight manual requires the pilot flight
crew complement be a single pilot,
then the applicant must demonstrate
single pilot proficiency on the practical test.
(2) If the aircraft-s type certification
data sheet requires the pilot flight
crew complement be a single pilot,
then the applicant must demonstrate
single pilot proficiency on the practical test.
(3) If the FAA Flight Standardization
Board report, FAA-approved aircraft
flight manual, or aircraft type certification data sheet allows the pilot
flight crew complement to be either a
single pilot, or a pilot and a copilot,
then the applicant may demonstrate
single pilot proficiency or have a copilot on the practical test. If the applicant performs the practical test with a
copilot, the limitation of  - Second in
Command Required -  will be placed on
the applicant-s pilot certificate. The
limitation may be removed if the applicant passes the practical test by demonstrating single-pilot proficiency in
the aircraft in which single-pilot privileges are sought.
(c) If an applicant fails any area of
operation, that applicant fails the
practical test.
(d) An applicant is not eligible for a
certificate or rating sought until all
the areas of operation are passed.
(e) The examiner or the applicant
may discontinue a practical test at any
time:
(1) When the applicant fails one or
more of the areas of operation; or
(2) Due to inclement weather conditions, aircraft airworthiness, or any
other safety-of-flight concern.
(f) If a practical test is discontinued,
the applicant is entitled credit for
those areas of operation that were
passed, but only if the applicant:
(1) Passes the remainder of the practical test within the 60-day period after
the date the practical test was discontinued;
(2) Presents to the examiner for the
retest the original notice of disapproval form or the letter of discontinuance form, as appropriate;
