Ex-

cept as provided in paragraphs (f) and 
(h) of this section, no person may ma-
nipulate the controls of an aircraft

calendar months preceding the month 
of the flight, that person performs and 
logs six instrument approaches as the 
sole manipulator of the controls using 
an EFVS under any weather conditions 
in the category of aircraft for which 
the person seeks the EFVS privilege. 
The instrument approaches may be 
performed in day or night conditions; 
and 

(1) One approach must terminate in a 

full stop landing; and 

(2) For persons authorized to exercise 

the privileges of § 91.176(a), the full stop 
landing must be conducted using the

as provided in paragraph (h) of this sec-
tion, a person who has failed to meet 
the recent flight experience require-
ments of paragraph (d) of this section 
for more than six calendar months may 
reestablish EFVS currency only by sat-
isfactorily completing an approved 
EFVS refresher course in the category 
of aircraft for which the person seeks 
the EFVS privilege. The EFVS re-
fresher course must consist of the sub-
jects and tasks listed in paragraphs 
(a)(2) and (b)(2) of this section applica-
ble to the EFVS operations to be con-
ducted. 

(2) The EFVS refresher course must

(3) A military pilot or former mili-

tary pilot in the U.S. Armed Forces

EFVS operations by the Adminis-
trator, and must be:
