(a) 

Training course outline

—(1) 

Format. 

The 

ground course outline and the flight course 
outline are independent. Each must be con-
tained in a looseleaf binder to include a table 
of contents. If an applicant desires approval 
of both a ground school course and a flight 
school course, they must be combined in one 
looseleaf binder that includes a separate 
table of contents for each course. Separate 
course outlines are required for each type of 
airplane. 

(2) 

Ground course outline. 

(i) It is not man-

datory that the subject headings be arranged 
exactly as listed in this paragraph. Any ar-
rangement of subjects is satisfactory if all 
the subject material listed here is included 
and at least the minimum programmed 
hours are assigned to each subject. Each gen-
eral subject must be broken down into detail 
showing the items to be covered. 

(ii) If any course operator desires to in-

clude additional subjects in the ground 
course curriculum, such as international 
law, flight hygiene, or others that are not re-
quired, the hours allotted these additional 
subjects may not be included in the min-
imum programmed classroom hours. 

(iii) The following subjects and classroom 

hours are the minimum programmed cov-
erage for the initial approval of a ground 
training course for flight engineers. Subse-
quent to initial approval of a ground train-
ing course an applicant may apply to the Ad-
ministrator for a reduction in the pro-
grammed hours. Approval of a reduction in 
the approved programmed hours is based on 
improved training effectiveness due to im-
provements in methods, training aids, qual-
ity of instruction, or any combination there-
of.
