Pt. 121, App. F 14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition) APPENDIX F TO PART 121 - PROFICIENCY CHECK REQUIREMENTS The maneuvers and procedures required by Section 121.441 for pilot proficiency checks are set forth in this appendix and must be performed inflight except to the extent that certain maneuvers and procedures may be performed in an airplane simulator with a visual system (visual simulator), an airplane simulator without a visual system (nonvisual simulator), or a training device as indicated by the appropriate symbol in the respective column opposite the maneuver or procedure. Whenever a maneuver or procedure is authorized to be performed in a nonvisual simulator, it may also be performed in a visual simulator; when authorized in a training device, it may be performed in a visual or nonvisual simulator. For the purpose of this appendix, the following symbols mean - P = Pilot in Command. B = Both Pilot in Command and Second in Command. * = A symbol and asterisk (B*) indicates that a particular condition is specified in the maneuvers and procedures column. # = When a maneuver is preceded by this symbol it indicates the maneuver may be required in the airplane at the discretion of the person conducting the check. Throughout the maneuvers prescribed in this appendix, good judgment commensurate with a high level of safety must be demonstrated. In determining whether such judgment has been shown, the person conducting the check considers adherence to approved procedures, actions based on analysis of situations for which there is no prescribed procedure or recommended practice, and qualities of prudence and care in selecting a course of action. Required Maneuvers/Procedures The procedures and maneuvers set forth in this appendix must be performed in a manner that satisfactorily demonstrates knowledge and skill with respect to - (1) The airplane, its systems and components; .................. (2) Proper control of airspeed, configuration, direction, altitude, and attitude in accordance with procedures and limitations contained in the approved Airplane Flight Manual, the certificate holder-s operations Manual, check lists, or other approved material appropriate to the airplane type; and ....................................................... (3) Compliance with approach, ATC, or other applicable procedures ........................................................................ I. Preflight: (a) Equipment examination (oral or written). As part of the practical test the equipment examination must be closely coordinated with, and related to, the flight maneuvers portion but may not be given during the flight maneuvers portion. The equipment examination must cover - (1) Subjects requiring a practical knowledge of the airplane, its powerplants, systems, components, operational, and performance factors; ............................. (2) Normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures, and the operations and limitations relating thereto; and ............................................................................. (3) The appropriate provisions of the approved Airplane Flight Manual ................................................... The person conducting the check may accept, as equal to this equipment test, an equipment test given to the pilot in the certificate holder-s ground school within the preceding 6 calendar months (b) Preflight inspection. The pilot must - ............................ (1) Conduct an actual visual inspection of the exterior and interior of the airplane, locating each item and explaining briefly the purpose for inspecting it; and (2) Demonstrate the use of the prestart check list, appropriate control system checks, starting procedures, radio and electronic equipment checks, and the selection of proper navigation and communications radio facilities and frequencies prior to flight ...
