[Reserved]

Section 121.436 Pilot Qualification: Certificates and experience requirements.
(a) No certificate holder may use nor
may any pilot act as pilot in command
of an aircraft (or as second in command
of an aircraft in a flag or supplemental
operation that requires three or more
pilots) unless the pilot:
(1) Holds an airline transport pilot
certificate not subject to the limitations in Section 61.167 of this chapter;
(2) Holds an appropriate aircraft type
rating for the aircraft being flown; and
(3) If serving as pilot in command in
part 121 operations, has 1,000 hours as
second in command in operations under
this part, pilot in command in operations under Section 91.1053(a)(2)(i) of this
chapter, pilot in command in operations under Section 135.243(a)(1) of this chapter, or any combination thereof. For
those pilots who are employed as pilot
in command in part 121 operations on
July 31, 2013, compliance with the requirements of this paragraph (a)(3) is
not required.
(b) No certificate holder may use nor
may any pilot act as second in command unless the pilot holds an airline
transport pilot certificate and an appropriate aircraft type rating for the
aircraft being flown. A second-in-command type rating obtained under Section 61.55
does not satisfy the requirements of
this section.
(c) For the purpose of satisfying the
flight hour requirement in paragraph
(a)(3) of this section, a pilot may credit
500 hours of military flight time obtained as pilot in command of a multiengine turbine-powered, fixed-wing airplane in an operation requiring more
than one pilot.
(d) Compliance with the requirements of this section is required by August 1, 2013. However, for those pilots
who are employed as second in com-

mand in part 121 operations on July 31,
2013, compliance with the type rating
requirement in paragraph (b) of this
section is not required until January 1,
2016.

Section 121.438 Pilot operating limitations
and pairing requirements.
(a) If the second in command has
fewer than 100 hours of flight time as

runway to be used is at or below 4,000
feet.
(iii) The runway to be used has
water, snow, slush or similar conditions that may adversely affect airplane performance.
(iv) The braking action on the runway to be used is reported to be less
than  - good - .
(v) The crosswind component for the
runway to be used is in excess of 15
knots.
(vi) Windshear is reported in the vicinity of the airport.
(vii) Any other condition in which
the PIC determines it to be prudent to
exercise the PIC-s prerogative.
(b) No person may conduct operations under this part unless, for that
type airplane, either the pilot in command or the second in command has at
least 75 hours of line operating flight
time, either as pilot in command or
second in command. The Administrator
may, upon application by the certificate holder, authorize deviations from
the requirements of this paragraph (b)
by an appropriate amendment to the
