14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition) 

§ 61.45 

(b) The pilot flight crew complement 

required during the practical test is 
based on one of the following require-
ments that applies to the aircraft being 
used on the practical test: 

(1) If the aircraft’s FAA-approved 

flight manual requires the pilot flight 
crew complement be a single pilot, 
then the applicant must demonstrate 
single pilot proficiency on the prac-
tical test. 

(2) If the aircraft’s type certification 

data sheet requires the pilot flight 
crew complement be a single pilot, 
then the applicant must demonstrate 
single pilot proficiency on the prac-
tical test. 

(3) If the FAA Flight Standardization 

Board report, FAA-approved aircraft 
flight manual, or aircraft type certifi-
cation data sheet allows the pilot 
flight crew complement to be either a 
single pilot, or a pilot and a copilot, 
then the applicant may demonstrate 
single pilot proficiency or have a copi-
lot on the practical test. If the appli-
cant performs the practical test with a 
copilot, the limitation of ‘‘Second in 
Command Required’’ will be placed on 
the applicant’s pilot certificate. The 
limitation may be removed if the appli-
cant passes the practical test by dem-
onstrating single-pilot proficiency in 
the aircraft in which single-pilot privi-
leges are sought. 

(c) If an applicant fails any area of 

operation, that applicant fails the 
practical test. 

(d) An applicant is not eligible for a 

certificate or rating sought until all 
the areas of operation are passed. 

(e) The examiner or the applicant 

may discontinue a practical test at any 
time: 

(1) When the applicant fails one or 

more of the areas of operation; or 

(2) Due to inclement weather condi-

tions, aircraft airworthiness, or any 
other safety-of-flight concern. 

(f) If a practical test is discontinued, 

the applicant is entitled credit for 
those areas of operation that were 
passed, but only if the applicant: 

(1) Passes the remainder of the prac-

tical test within the 60-day period after 
the date the practical test was discon-
tinued; 

(2) Presents to the examiner for the 

retest the original notice of dis-

approval form or the letter of dis-
continuance form, as appropriate; 

(3) Satisfactorily accomplishes any 

additional training needed and obtains 
the appropriate instructor endorse-
ments, if additional training is re-
quired; and 

(4) Presents to the examiner for the 

retest a properly completed and signed 
application.
