Quality of instruction. 

(1) Approval of a 

ground course is discontinued whenever less 
than 80 percent of the students pass the FAA 
written test on the first attempt. 

(2) Approval of a flight course is discon-

tinued whenever less than 80 percent of the 
students pass the FAA practical test on the 
first attempt. 

(3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2)

isfactory means to improve the effectiveness 
of the training.

who successfully completes an approved 
flight engineer ground school training 
course, and passes the FAA written test, a 
statement of successful completion of the 
course that indicates the date of training, 
the type of airplane on which the ground 
course training was based, and the number of 
hours received in the ground school course. 

(2) The course operator shall give each stu-

section are included. 

(4) The requirements of this paragraph do 

not apply to an air carrier or commercial op-

student receives a flight engineer certificate 
upon completion of that course. 

(k) 

Inspections. 

Each course operator shall 

allow the Administrator at any time or 
place, to make any inspection necessary to 
ensure that the quality and effectiveness of 
the instruction are maintained at the re-
quired standards. 

(l) 

Change of ownership, name, or location.
