provisions of 
§ 121.441(d) 

The circling approach maneuver is not required for a second- 

in-command if the certificate holder’s manual prohibits a sec-
ond-in-command from performing a circling approach in op-
erations under this part. 

(e) Missed Approach ...................................................................

(1) Each pilot must perform at least one missed approach from 

an ILS approach. .....................................................................

A complete approved missed approach procedure must be ac-

complished at least once. At the discretion of the person 
conducting a check a simulated powerplant failure may be 
required during any of the missed approaches. These ma-
neuvers may be performed either independently or in con-
junction with maneuvers required under Sections III or V of 
this appendix. At least one missed approach must be per-
formed in flight. 

IV. Inflight Maneuvers: 

(a) Steep turns. At least one steep turn in each direction 

must be performed. Each steep turn must involve a 
bank angle of 45

° 

with a heading change of at least 

180

° 

but not more than 360

°

(b) Stall Prevention. For the purpose of this maneuver the 

approved recovery procedure must be initiated at the 
first indication of an impending stall (buffet, stick shaker, 
aural warning). Except as provided below there must be 
at least three stall prevention recoveries as follows: .......

B * 

(1) One in the takeoff configuration (except where the 

airplane uses only a zero-flap takeoff configuration). 

(2) One in a clean configuration. 
(3) One in a landing configuration. 

At the discretion of the person conducting the check, one stall 

prevention recovery must be performed in one of the above 
configurations while in a turn with the bank angle between 
15

° 

and 30

°

. Two out of the three stall prevention recoveries 

required by this paragraph may be waived. 

If the certificate holder is authorized to dispatch or flight re-

lease the airplane with a stall warning device inoperative the 
device may not be used during this maneuver 

(c) Specific flight characteristics. Recovery from specific 

flight characteristics that are peculiar to the airplane 
type ...................................................................................

(d) Powerplant failures. In addition to specific requirements 

for maneuvers with simulated powerplant failures, the 
person conducting the check may require a simulated 
powerplant failure at any time during the check ..............

V. Landings and Approaches to Landings: 
Notwithstanding the authorizations for combining and waiving 

maneuvers and for the use of a simulator, at least two actual 
landings (one to a full stop) must be made for all pilot-in- 
command and initial second-in-command proficiency checks. 

Landings and approaches to landings must include the types 

listed below, but more than one type may be combined 
where appropriate: 

(a) Normal landing ...............................................................

B  ..........

......................

(b) Landing in sequence from an ILS instrument approach 

except that if circumstances beyond the control of the 
pilot prevent an actual landing, the person conducting 
the check may accept an approach to a point where in 
his judgment a landing to a full stop could have been 
made .................................................................................

(c)(1) Crosswind landing, if practical under existing mete-

orological, airport, and traffic conditions ..........................

(c)(2) Beginning March 12, 2019, crosswind landing with 

gusts, if practical under existing meteorological, airport, 
and traffic conditions ........................................................
