14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition) 

§ 61.73

record that shows the person is instru-
ment pilot qualified by the U.S. Armed 
Forces to conduct instrument flying on 
Federal airways in that aircraft cat-
egory and class for the instrument rat-

type rating may only be issued for a 
type of aircraft that has a comparable 
civilian type designation by the Ad-
ministrator. 

(f) 

Aircraft type rating placed on an 

airline transport pilot certificate. A per-
son who is a military pilot or former 
military pilot of the U.S. Armed Forces 
and requests an aircraft type rating to 
be placed on an existing U.S. airline 
transport pilot certificate may be 
issued the rating at the airline trans-
port pilot certification level, provided 
that person: 

(1) Holds a category and class rating 

for that type of aircraft at the airline 
transport pilot certification level; and 

(2) Has passed an official U.S. mili-

tary pilot check and instrument pro-
ficiency check in that type of aircraft. 

(g) 

Flight instructor certificate and rat-

ings.  A person who can show official 
U.S. military documentation of being a 
U.S. military instructor pilot or U.S. 
military pilot examiner, or a former 
instructor pilot or pilot examiner may 
apply for and be issued a flight instruc-
tor certificate with the appropriate 
ratings if that person: 

(1) Holds a commercial or airline 

transport pilot certificate with the ap-
propriate aircraft category and class 
rating, if a class rating is appropriate, 
for the flight instructor rating sought;

sought and the knowledge test was 
passed within the preceding 24 calendar 
months prior to the month of applica-
tion. If the U.S. military instructor

flight instructor certificate, holding of 

a flight instructor certificate suffices 
for the knowledge test report.

is or was qualified as a U.S. Armed 
Forces military instructor pilot or 
pilot examiner for the flight instructor 
rating sought.

ing sought.

tary pilot. 

(3) An official U.S. Armed Forces 

record that shows the pilot passed a 
pilot proficiency check and instrument 
proficiency check in an aircraft as a 
military pilot.

tracting State to the Convention on

ing, that person must present the fol-
