§ 91.1073 

(2) The instrument proficiency check 

must be given by an authorized check 
pilot or by the Administrator. 

(f) If the pilot is assigned to pilot 

only one type of aircraft, that pilot 
must take the instrument proficiency 
check required by paragraph (a) of this 
section in that type of aircraft. 

(g) If the pilot in command is as-

signed to pilot more than one type of 
aircraft, that pilot must take the in-
strument proficiency check required by 
paragraph (a) of this section in each 
type of aircraft to which that pilot is 
assigned, in rotation, but not more 
than one flight check during each pe-
riod described in paragraph (a) of this 
section. 

(h) If the pilot in command is as-

signed to pilot both single-engine and 
multiengine aircraft, that pilot must 
initially take the instrument pro-
ficiency check required by paragraph 
(a) of this section in a multiengine air-
craft, and each succeeding check alter-
nately in single-engine and multien-
gine aircraft, but not more than one 
flight check during each period de-
scribed in paragraph (a) of this section. 

(i) All or portions of a required flight 

check may be given in an aircraft sim-
ulator or other appropriate training de-
vice, if approved by the Administrator. 

§ 91.1071

Crewmember: Tests and 

checks, grace provisions, training 
to accepted standards. 

(a) If a crewmember who is required 

to take a test or a flight check under 
this subpart, completes the test or 
flight check in the month before or 
after the month in which it is required, 
that crewmember is considered to have 
completed the test or check in the 
month in which it is required. 

(b) If a pilot being checked under this 

subpart fails any of the required ma-
neuvers, the person giving the check 
may give additional training to the 
pilot during the course of the check. In 
addition to repeating the maneuvers 
failed, the person giving the check may 
require the pilot being checked to re-
peat any other maneuvers that are nec-
essary to determine the pilot’s pro-
ficiency. If the pilot being checked is 
unable to demonstrate satisfactory 
performance to the person conducting 
the check, the program manager may 

not use the pilot, nor may the pilot 
serve, as a flight crewmember in oper-
ations under this subpart until the 
pilot has satisfactorily completed the 
check. If a pilot who demonstrates un-
satisfactory performance is employed 
as a pilot for a certificate holder oper-
ating under part 121, 125, or 135 of this 
chapter, he or she must notify that cer-
tificate holder of the unsatisfactory 
performance.

this subpart and that ensures that each 
crewmember, including each flight at-
tendant if the program manager uses a 
flight attendant crewmember, flight 
instructor, check pilot, and each per-
son assigned duties for the carriage and 
handling of hazardous materials (as de-
fined in 49 CFR 171.8) is adequately 
trained to perform these assigned du-
ties. 

(2) Provide adequate ground and 

flight training facilities and properly 
qualified ground instructors for the 
training required by this subpart. 

(3) Provide and keep current for each 

aircraft type used and, if applicable, 
the particular variations within the 
aircraft type, appropriate training ma-
terial, examinations, forms, instruc-
tions, and procedures for use in con-
ducting the training and checks re-
quired by this subpart. 

(4) Provide enough flight instructors, 

check pilots, and simulator instructors 
to conduct required flight training and 
flight checks, and simulator training 
courses allowed under this subpart. 

(b) Whenever a crewmember who is 

required to take recurrent training 
under this subpart completes the train-
ing in the month before, or the month 
after, the month in which that training 
is required, the crewmember is consid-
ered to have completed it in the month 
in which it was required. 

(c) Each instructor, supervisor, or 

check pilot who is responsible for a 
particular ground training subject, seg-
ment of flight training, course of train-
ing, flight check, or competence check
