climbs and descents, turns to a heading, re-
covery from unusual flight attitudes, radio 
communications, and the use of navigation 
systems/facilities and radar services appro-
priate to instrument flight; and 

(iv) Three hours of flight training in a mul-

tiengine airplane in preparation for the prac-
tical test within 2 calendar months before 
the date of the test. 

(2) For the commercial pilot certificate, 

the course requires 55 hours flight training 
on the areas of operations under part 141, ap-
pendix D, paragraph 4.(d)(2). A flight simu-
lator and flight training device cannot be 
used more than 16.5 hours to meet the train-
ing requirements, and use of the flight train-
ing device is limited to 11 hours of the 16.5 
hours permitted. The course must include— 

(i) Five hours of instrument training in a 

multiengine airplane including training 
using a view-limiting device for attitude in-
strument flying, partial panel skills, recov-
ery from unusual flight attitudes, and inter-
cepting and tracking navigational systems; 

(ii) Ten hours of training in a multiengine 

airplane that has retractable landing gear, 
flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller, or is 
turbine-powered; 

(iii) One 2-hour cross country flight during 

daytime conditions in a multiengine air-
plane, and a total straight-line distance of 
more than 100 nautical miles from the origi-
nal point of departure; 

(iv) One 2-hour cross country flight during 

nighttime conditions in a multiengine air-
plane, and a total straight-line distance of 
more than 100 nautical miles from the origi-
nal point of departure; and 

(v) Three hours in a multiengine airplane 

within 2 calendar months before the date of 
the practical test. 

(3) For the airline transport pilot certifi-

cate, the course requires 25 hours of flight 
training in a multiengine airplane on the 
areas of operation under part 141, appendix 
E, paragraph 4.(c) that includes 15 hours of 
instrument training. A flight simulator and 
flight training device cannot be used more 
than 12.5 hours to meet the training require-
ments, and use of the flight training device 
is limited to 6.25 hours of the 12.5 hours per-
mitted. 

(c) Course for an additional rotorcraft cat-

egory and helicopter class rating. 

(1) For the recreational pilot certificate, 

the course requires 15 hours of flight train-
ing on the areas of operations under part 141, 
appendix A, paragraph 4.(c)(2) that includes— 

(i) Two hours of flight training to and at 

an airport that is located more than 25 nau-
tical miles from the airport where the appli-
cant normally trains, with three takeoffs 
and three landings, except as provided under 
§ 61.100 of this chapter; and 

(ii) Three hours of flight training in a 

rotorcraft category and a helicopter class 

aircraft within 2 calendar months before the 
date of the practical test. 

(2) For the private pilot certificate, the 

course requires 20 hours flight training on 
the areas of operations under part 141, appen-
dix B, paragraph 4.(d)(3). A flight simulator 
and flight training device cannot be used 
more than 4 hours to meet the training re-
quirements, and use of the flight training de-
vice is limited to 3 hours of the 4 hours per-
mitted. The course must include— 

(i) Except as provided under § 61.111 of this 

chapter, 3 hours of cross country flight 
training in a helicopter; 

(ii) Three hours of nighttime flight train-

ing in a helicopter that includes one cross 
country flight of more than 50 nautical miles 
total distance, and 10 takeoffs and 10 land-
ings to a full stop (with each landing involv-
ing a flight in the traffic pattern) at an air-
port; and 

(iii) Three hours of flight training in a hel-

icopter within 2 calendar months before the 
date of the practical test. 

(3) The commercial pilot certificate level 

requires 30 hours flight training on the areas 
of operations under appendix D of part 141, 
paragraph 4.(d)(3). A flight simulator and 
flight training device cannot be used more 
than 9 hours to meet the training require-
ments, and use of the flight training device 
is limited to 6 hours of the 9 hours per-
mitted. The course must include— 

(i) Five hours on the control and maneu-

vering of a helicopter solely by reference to 
instruments, and must include training 
using a view-limiting device for attitude in-
strument flying, partial panel skills, recov-
ery from unusual flight attitudes, and inter-
cepting and tracking navigational systems. 
This aeronautical experience may be per-
formed in an aircraft, flight simulator, flight 
training device, or an aviation training de-
vice; 

(ii) One 2-hour cross country flight during 

daytime conditions in a helicopter, a total 
straight-line distance of more than 50 nau-
tical miles from the original point of depar-
ture; 

(iii) One 2-hour cross country flight during 

nighttime conditions in a helicopter, a total 
straight-line distance of more than 50 nau-
tical miles from the original point of depar-
ture; and 

(iv) Three hours in a helicopter within 2 

calendar months before the date of the prac-
tical test. 

(4) For the airline transport pilot certifi-

cate, the course requires 25 hours of flight 
training, including 15 hours of instrument 
training, in a helicopter on the areas of oper-
ation under part 141, appendix E, paragraph
