(a) If a crewmember who is required 

to take a test or a flight check under 
this part completes the test or flight 
check in the calendar month before or 
after the calendar month in which it is 
required, that crewmember is consid-
ered to have completed the test or 
check in the calendar month in which 
it is required. 

(b) If a pilot being checked under this 

subpart fails any of the required ma-
neuvers, the person giving the check 
may give additional training to the 
pilot during the course of the check. In 
addition to repeating the maneuvers 
failed, the person giving the check may 
require the pilot being checked to re-
peat any other maneuvers that are nec-
essary to determine the pilot’s pro-
ficiency. If the pilot being checked is 
unable to demonstrate satisfactory 
performance to the person conducting 
the check, the certificate holder may 
not use the pilot, nor may the pilot 
serve, in the capacity for which the 
pilot is being checked in operations 
under this part until the pilot has sat-
isfactorily completed the check.

Application and issue.

mit a request in writing to the respon-
sible Flight Standards office charged 
with the overall inspection of the cer-
tificate holder. The Administrator may 
issue a letter of authority to each 
check airman if that airman passes the 
appropriate oral and flight test. The 
letter of authority lists the tests and 
checks in this part that the check air-
man is qualified to give, and the cat-
egory, class and type airplane, where 

appropriate, for which the check air-
man is qualified.
