required pilot flight crewmember unless within the preceding 90 calendar
days that person has made at least
three takeoffs and landings in the type
airplane in which that person is to
serve. The takeoffs and landings required by this paragraph may be performed in a flight simulator if the
flight simulator is qualified and approved by the Administrator for such
purpose. However, any person who fails
to qualify for a 90-consecutive-day period following the date of that person-s
last qualification under this paragraph
must reestablish recency of experience
as provided in paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) A required pilot flight crewmember who has not met the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section
may reestablish recency of experience
by making at least three takeoffs and
landings under the supervision of an
authorized check airman, in accordance with the following:
(1) At least one takeoff must be made
with a simulated failure of the most
critical powerplant.
(2) At least one landing must be made
from an ILS approach to the lowest
ILS minimums authorized for the certificate holder.
(3) At least one landing must be made
to a complete stop.

required by paragraph (b) of this section in a qualified and approved flight
simulator, as prescribed in paragraph
(a) of this section, must - 

(1) Have previously logged 100 hours
of flight time in the same type airplane
in which the pilot is to serve; and
(2) Be observed on the first two landings made in operations under this part
by an authorized check airman who
acts as pilot in command and occupies
a pilot seat. The landings must be
made in weather minimums that are
not less than those contained in the
certificate holder-s operations specifications for Category I operations and
must be made within 45 days following
completion of simulator testing.
(d) An authorized check airman who
observes the takeoffs and landings prescribed in paragraphs (b) and (c)(3) of
this section shall certify that the person being observed is proficient and
qualified to perform flight duty in operations under this part, and may require any additional maneuvers that
are determined necessary to make this
