§ 61.69 

authorization is sought does not re-
quire a second in command; 

(xi) Recognition of the limits of ac-

ceptable aircraft position and flight 
path tracking during approach, flare, 
and, if applicable, rollout; and 

(xii) Recognition of, and reaction to, 

airborne or ground system faults or ab-
normalities, particularly after passing 
alert height or decision height, as ap-
plicable. 

(2) 

Flight increment. The following re-

quirements apply to the flight incre-
ment of the practical test— 

(i) The flight increment may be con-

ducted in an aircraft of the same cat-
egory and class, and type, as applica-
ble, as the aircraft for which the au-
thorization is sought, or in a flight 
simulator that— 

(A) Represents an aircraft of the 

same category and class, and type, as 
applicable, as the aircraft in which the 
authorization is sought; and 

(B) Is used in accordance with an ap-

proved course conducted by a training 
center certificated under part 142 of 
this chapter. 

(ii) The flight increment must con-

sist of at least two ILS approaches to 
100 feet AGL, including one landing and 
one missed approach initiated from a 
very low altitude that may result in a 
touchdown during the go-around ma-
neuver; 

(iii) All approaches performed during 

the flight increment must be made 
with the approved automatic landing 
system or an equivalent landing sys-
tem approved by the Administrator; 

(iv) If a multiengine aircraft with the 

performance capability to execute a 
missed approach with one engine inop-
erative is used for the practical test, 
the flight increment must include the 
performance of one missed approach 
with the most critical engine, if appli-
cable, set at idle or zero thrust before 
reaching the middle or outer marker; 

(v) If a multiengine flight simulator 

or multiengine flight training device is 
used, a missed approach must be exe-
cuted with an engine, which shall be 
the most critical engine, if applicable, 
failed; 

(vi) For an authorization for an air-

craft that requires a type rating, the 
practical test must be performed in co-
ordination with a second in command 

who holds a type rating in the aircraft 
in which the authorization is sought; 

(vii) Oral questioning may be con-

ducted at any time during the practical 
test; 

(viii) Subject to the limitations of 

this paragraph, for Category IIIb oper-
ations predicated on the use of a fail- 
passive rollout control system, at least 
one manual rollout using visual ref-
erence or a combination of visual and 
instrument references must be exe-
cuted. The maneuver required by this 
paragraph shall be initiated by a fail- 
passive disconnect of the rollout con-
trol system— 

(A) After main gear touchdown; 
(B) Prior to nose gear touchdown; 
(C) In conditions representative of 

the most adverse lateral touchdown 
displacement allowing a safe landing 
on the runway; and 

(D) In weather conditions anticipated 

in Category IIIb operations.
