Section 135.299 Pilot in command: Line
checks: Routes and airports.
(a) No certificate holder may use a
pilot, nor may any person serve, as a
pilot in command of a flight unless,
since the beginning of the 12th calendar month before that service, that
pilot has passed a flight check in one of
the types of aircraft which that pilot is
to fly. The flight check shall - 
(1) Be given by an approved check
pilot or by the Administrator;
(2) Consist of at least one flight over
one route segment; and
(3) Include takeoffs and landings at
one or more representative airports. In
addition to the requirements of this
paragraph, for a pilot authorized to
conduct IFR operations, at least one
flight shall be flown over a civil airway, an approved off-airway route, or a
portion of either of them.
(b) The pilot who conducts the check
shall determine whether the pilot being
checked satisfactorily performs the duties and responsibilities of a pilot in
command in operations under this
part, and shall so certify in the pilot
training record.
(c) Each certificate holder shall establish in the manual required by
Section 135.21 a procedure which will ensure
that each pilot who has not flown over
a route and into an airport within the
preceding 90 days will, before beginning
the flight, become familiar with all
available information required for the
safe operation of that flight.
Section 135.301 Crewmember:
Tests
and
checks, grace provisions, training
to accepted standards.
(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 considered 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 maneuvers, 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 repeat any other maneuvers that are necessary to determine the pilot-s proficiency. 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, as a flight crewmember in operations under this part until the pilot
has satisfactorily completed the check.
