flight review to satisfy the require-
ments of § 61.56 of this chapter is valid

ries airplane only if that flight review 
is conducted in a Mitsubishi MU–2B se-
ries airplane or an MU–2B Simulator 
approved for landings with an approved 
course conducted under part 142 of this 
chapter. The flight review for 
Mitsubishi MU–2B series airplanes
