§ 91.1069

Flight crew: Instrument pro-

ficiency check requirements. 

(a) No program manager or owner 

may use a pilot, nor may any person 
serve, as a pilot in command of an air-
craft under IFR unless, since the begin-
ning of the 6th month before that serv-
ice, that pilot has passed an instru-
ment proficiency check under this sec-
tion administered by the Adminis-
trator or an authorized check pilot. 

(b) No program manager or owner 

may use a pilot, nor may any person 
serve, as a second command pilot of an 
aircraft under IFR unless, since the be-
ginning of the 12th month before that 
service, that pilot has passed an instru-
ment proficiency check under this sec-
tion administered by the Adminis-
trator or an authorized check pilot. 

(c) No pilot may use any type of pre-

cision instrument approach procedure 
under IFR unless, since the beginning 
of the 6th month before that use, the 

pilot satisfactorily demonstrated that 
type of approach procedure. No pilot 
may use any type of nonprecision ap-
proach procedure under IFR unless, 
since the beginning of the 6th month 
before that use, the pilot has satisfac-
torily demonstrated either that type of 
approach procedure or any other two 
different types of nonprecision ap-
proach procedures. The instrument ap-
proach procedure or procedures must 
include at least one straight-in ap-
proach, one circling approach, and one 
missed approach. Each type of ap-
proach procedure demonstrated must 
be conducted to published minimums 
for that procedure. 

(d) The instrument proficiency 

checks required by paragraphs (a) and 
(b) of this section consists of either an 
oral or written equipment test (or a 
combination) and a flight check under 
simulated or actual IFR conditions. 
The equipment test includes questions 
on emergency procedures, engine oper-
ation, fuel and lubrication systems, 
power settings, stall speeds, best en-
gine-out speed, propeller and super-
charger operations, and hydraulic, me-
chanical, and electrical systems, as ap-
propriate. The flight check includes 
navigation by instruments, recovery 
from simulated emergencies, and 
standard instrument approaches in-
volving navigational facilities which 
that pilot is to be authorized to use. 

(e) Each pilot taking the instrument 

proficiency check must show that 
standard of competence required by 
§ 91.1065(d). 

(1) The instrument proficiency check 

must— 

(i) For a pilot in command of an air-

craft requiring that the PIC hold an 
airline transport pilot certificate, in-
clude the procedures and maneuvers for 
an airline transport pilot certificate in 
the particular type of aircraft, if appro-
priate; and 

(ii) For a pilot in command of a 

rotorcraft or a second in command of 
any aircraft requiring that the SIC 
hold a commercial pilot certificate in-
clude the procedures and maneuvers for 
a commercial pilot certificate with an 
instrument rating and, if required, for 
the appropriate type rating.
