(g)
Aircraft not capable of instrument
maneuvers and procedures. An applicant
may add a type rating to an airline
transport pilot certificate with an air-
craft that is not capable of the instru-
ment maneuvers and procedures re-
quired on the practical test under the
following circumstances—
(1) The rating is limited to ‘‘VFR
only.’’
(2) The type rating is added to an air-
line transport pilot certificate that has
instrument privileges in that category
and class of aircraft.
(3) The ‘‘VFR only’’ limitation may
be removed for that aircraft type after
the applicant:
(i) Passes a practical test in that
type of aircraft on the appropriate in-
strument maneuvers and procedures in
§ 61.157; or
(ii) Becomes qualified in § 61.73(d) for
that type of aircraft.
(h)
Multiengine airplane with a single-
pilot station. An applicant for a type
rating, at the ATP certification level,
in a multiengine airplane with a sin-
gle-pilot station must perform the
practical test in the multi-seat version
of that airplane. The practical test
may be performed in the single-seat
version of that airplane if the Exam-
iner is in a position to observe the ap-
plicant during the practical test in the
case where there is no multi-seat
version of that multiengine airplane.
(i)
Single engine airplane with a single-
pilot station. An applicant for a type
rating, at the ATP certification level,
in a single engine airplane with a sin-
gle-pilot station must perform the
practical test in the multi-seat version
of that single engine airplane. The
practical test may be performed in the
single-seat version of that airplane if
the Examiner is in a position to ob-
serve the applicant during the prac-
tical test in the case where there is no
multi-seat version of that single engine
airplane.
(j)
Waiver authority. An Examiner
who conducts a practical test may
waive any task for which the FAA has
provided waiver authority.
