APPENDIX C TO PART 63 - FLIGHT ENGINEER TRAINING COURSE REQUIREMENTS

(a) Training course outline - (1) Format. The
ground course outline and the flight course
outline are independent. Each must be contained 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 mandatory that the subject headings be arranged
exactly as listed in this paragraph. Any arrangement 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 general subject must be broken down into detail
showing the items to be covered.
(ii) If any course operator desires to include additional subjects in the ground
course curriculum, such as international
law, flight hygiene, or others that are not required, the hours allotted these additional
subjects may not be included in the minimum programmed classroom hours.
(iii) The following subjects and classroom
hours are the minimum programmed coverage for the initial approval of a ground
training course for flight engineers. Subsequent to initial approval of a ground training course an applicant may apply to the Administrator for a reduction in the programmed hours. Approval of a reduction in
the approved programmed hours is based on
improved training effectiveness due to improvements in methods, training aids, quality of instruction, or any combination thereof.

The above subjects, except Theory of
Flight and Aerodynamics, and Regulations
must apply to the same type of airplane in
which the student flight engineer is to receive flight training.
(3) Flight Course Outline. (i) The flight
training curriculum must include at least 10
hours of flight instruction in an airplane
specified in Section 63.37(a). The flight time required for the practical test may not be credited as part of the required flight instruction.
(ii) All of the flight training must be given
in the same type airplane.
(iii) As appropriate to the airplane type,
the following subjects must be taught in the
flight training course:
