§ 61.59
(f) This section will not apply to a
pilot authorized by the Administrator
to serve as pilot in command in experi-
mental turbojet-powered aircraft that
possesses, by original design, a single
seat, when operating such single-seat
aircraft.
(g) A check or test described in para-
graphs (d)(1) through (5) of this section
may be accomplished in a flight simu-
lator under part 142 of this chapter,
subject to the following:
(1) Except as provided for in para-
graphs (g)(2) and (3) of this section, if
an otherwise qualified and approved
flight simulator used for a pilot-in-
command proficiency check is not
qualified and approved for a specific re-
quired maneuver—
(i) The training center must anno-
tate, in the applicant’s training record,
the maneuver or maneuvers omitted;
and
(ii) Prior to acting as pilot in com-
mand, the pilot must demonstrate pro-
ficiency in each omitted maneuver in
an aircraft or flight simulator qualified
and approved for each omitted maneu-
ver.
(2) If the flight simulator used pursu-
ant to paragraph (g) of this section is
not qualified and approved for circling
approaches—
(i) The applicant’s record must in-
clude the statement, ‘‘Proficiency in
circling approaches not demonstrated’’;
and
(ii) The applicant may not perform
circling approaches as pilot in com-
mand when weather conditions are less
than the basic VFR conditions de-
scribed in § 91.155 of this chapter, until
proficiency in circling approaches has
been successfully demonstrated in a
flight simulator qualified and approved
for circling approaches or in an aircraft
to a person authorized by the Adminis-
trator to conduct the check required
by this section.
(3) If the flight simulator used pursu-
ant to paragraph (g) of this section is
not qualified and approved for land-
ings, the applicant must—
(i) Hold a type rating in the airplane
represented by the simulator; and
(ii) Have completed within the pre-
ceding 90 days at least three takeoffs
and three landings (one to a full stop)
as the sole manipulator of the flight
controls in the type airplane for which
the pilot-in-command proficiency
check is sought.
(h) For the purpose of meeting the
pilot-in-command proficiency check re-
quirements of paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion, a person may act as pilot in com-
mand of a flight under day VFR condi-
tions or day IFR conditions if no per-
son or property is carried, other than
as necessary to demonstrate compli-
ance with this part.
(i) If a pilot takes the pilot-in-com-
mand proficiency check required by
this section in the calendar month be-
fore or the calendar month after the
month in which it is due, the pilot is
considered to have taken it in the
month in which it was due for the pur-
pose of computing when the next pilot-
in-command proficiency check is due.
(j) A pilot-in-command of a turbojet
powered aircraft that is type certifi-
cated for one pilot does not have to
comply with the pilot-in-command pro-
ficiency check requirements in para-
graphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section
until October 31, 2012.
(k) Unless required by the aircraft’s
operating limitations, a pilot-in-com-
mand of an experimental turbojet-pow-
ered aircraft does not have to comply
with the pilot-in-command proficiency
check requirements in paragraphs
(a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section until Oc-
tober 31, 2012.
