ence as a pilot; 

(B) In each airplane that is type cer-

ing program must have required and 
the pilot must have performed, at least 
6 takeoffs and 6 landings to a full stop 
as the sole manipulator of the controls

resentative of a turbine-powered air-
plane that requires more than one pilot 
crewmember. The full flight simula-
tor’s visual system must have been ad-
justed to represent the period begin-
ning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 
hour before sunrise.
