§ 91.1067 

major appliances, performance and op-
erating limitations, standard and 
emergency operating procedures, and 
the contents of the accepted operating 
manual or equivalent, as applicable; 

(3) For each type of aircraft to be 

flown by the pilot, the method of deter-
mining compliance with weight and 
balance limitations for takeoff, landing 
and en route operations; 

(4) Navigation and use of air naviga-

tion aids appropriate to the operation 
or pilot authorization, including, when 
applicable, instrument approach facili-
ties and procedures; 

(5) Air traffic control procedures, in-

cluding IFR procedures when applica-
ble; 

(6) Meteorology in general, including 

the principles of frontal systems, icing, 
fog, thunderstorms, and windshear, 
and, if appropriate for the operation of 
the program manager, high altitude 
weather; 

(7) Procedures for— 
(i) Recognizing and avoiding severe 

weather situations; 

(ii) Escaping from severe weather sit-

uations, in case of inadvertent encoun-
ters, including low-altitude windshear 
(except that rotorcraft aircraft pilots 
are not required to be tested on escap-
ing from low-altitude windshear); and 

(iii) Operating in or near thunder-

storms (including best penetration al-
titudes), turbulent air (including clear 
air turbulence), icing, hail, and other 
potentially hazardous meteorological 
conditions; and 

(8) New equipment, procedures, or 

techniques, as appropriate. 

(b) No program manager or owner 

may use a pilot, nor may any person 
serve as a pilot, in any aircraft unless, 
since the beginning of the 12th month 
before that service, that pilot has 
passed a competency check given by 
the Administrator or an authorized 
check pilot in that class of aircraft, if 
single-engine aircraft other than tur-
bojet, or that type of aircraft, if rotor-
craft, multiengine aircraft, or turbojet 
airplane, to determine the pilot’s com-
petence in practical skills and tech-
niques in that aircraft or class of air-
craft. The extent of the competency 
check will be determined by the Ad-
ministrator or authorized check pilot 
conducting the competency check. The 

competency check may include any of 
the maneuvers and procedures cur-
rently required for the original 
issuance of the particular pilot certifi-
cate required for the operations au-
thorized and appropriate to the cat-
egory, class and type of aircraft in-
volved. For the purposes of this para-
graph, type, as to an airplane, means 
any one of a group of airplanes deter-
mined by the Administrator to have a 
similar means of propulsion, the same 
manufacturer, and no significantly dif-
ferent handling or flight characteris-
tics. For the purposes of this para-
graph, type, as to a rotorcraft, means a 
basic make and model. 

(c) The instrument proficiency check 

required by § 91.1069 may be substituted 
for the competency check required by 
this section for the type of aircraft 
used in the check. 

(d) For the purpose of this subpart, 

competent performance of a procedure 
or maneuver by a person to be used as 
a pilot requires that the pilot be the 
obvious master of the aircraft, with the 
successful outcome of the maneuver 
never in doubt. 

(e) The Administrator or authorized 

check pilot certifies the competency of 
each pilot who passes the knowledge or 
flight check in the program manager’s 
pilot records. 

(f) All or portions of a required com-

petency check may be given in an air-
craft simulator or other appropriate 
training device, if approved by the Ad-
ministrator. 

(g) If the program manager is author-

ized to conduct EFVS operations, the 
competency check in paragraph (b) of 
this section must include tasks appro-
priate to the EFVS operations the cer-
tificate holder is authorized to con-
duct.

Initial and recurrent flight 

attendant crewmember testing re-
quirements. 

No program manager or owner may

nor may any person serve as a flight 
attendant crewmember unless, since 
the beginning of the 12th month before
