§ 121.387
certificate or the airplane Flight Man-
ual approved for that type airplane and
required by this part for the kind of op-
eration being conducted.
(b) In any case in which this part re-
quires the performance of two or more
functions for which an airman certifi-
cate is necessary, that requirement is
not satisfied by the performance of
multiple functions at the same time by
one airman.
(c) The minimum pilot crew is two
pilots and the certificate holder shall
designate one pilot as pilot in com-
mand and the other second in com-
mand.
(d) On each flight requiring a flight
engineer at least one flight crew-
member, other than the flight engi-
neer, must be qualified to provide
emergency performance of the flight
engineer’s functions for the safe com-
pletion of the flight if the flight engi-
neer becomes ill or is otherwise inca-
pacitated. A pilot need not hold a
flight engineer’s certificate to perform
the flight engineer’s functions in such
a situation.
