14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition) 

§ 63.39 

§ 63.39

Skill requirements. 

(a) An applicant for a flight engineer 

certificate with a class rating must 
pass a practical test on the duties of a 
flight engineer in the class of airplane 
for which a rating is sought. The test 
may only be given on an airplane speci-
fied in § 63.37(a). 

(b) The applicant must— 
(1) Show that he can satisfactorily 

perform preflight inspection, servicing, 
starting, pretakeoff, and postlanding 
procedures; 

(2) In flight, show that he can satis-

factorily perform the normal duties 
and procedures relating to the air-
plane, airplane engines, propellers (if 
appropriate), systems, and appliances; 
and 

(3) In flight, in an airplane simulator, 

or in an approved flight engineer train-
ing device, show that he can satisfac-
torily perform emergency duties and 
procedures and recognize and take ap-
propriate action for malfunctions of 
the airplane, engines, propellers (if ap-
propriate), systems and appliances. 

§ 63.41

Retesting after failure. 

An applicant for a flight engineer 

certificate who fails a written test or 
practical test for that certificate may 
apply for retesting— 

(a) After 30 days after the date he 

failed that test; or 

(b) After he has received additional 

practice or instruction (flight, syn-
thetic trainer, or ground training, or 
any combination thereof) that is nec-
essary, in the opinion of the Adminis-
trator or the applicant’s instructor (if 
the Administrator has authorized him 
to determine the additional instruction 
necessary) to prepare the applicant for 
retesting. 

§ 63.42

Flight engineer certificate 

issued on basis of a foreign flight 
engineer license. 

(a) 

Certificates issued. The holder of a 

current foreign flight engineer license 
issued by a contracting State to the 
Convention on International Civil 
Aviation, who meets the requirements 
of this section, may have a flight engi-
neer certificate issued to him for the 
operation of civil aircraft of U.S. reg-
istry. Each flight engineer certificate 
issued under this section specifies the 

number and State of issuance of the 
foreign flight engineer license on which 
it is based. If the holder of the certifi-
cate cannot read, speak, or understand 
the English language, the Adminis-
trator may place any limitation on the 
certificate that he considers necessary 
for safety. 

(b) 

Medical standards and certification. 

An applicant must submit evidence 
that he currently meets the medical 
standards for the foreign flight engi-
neer license on which the application 
for a certificate under this section is 
based. A current medical certificate 
issued under part 67 of this chapter will 
be excepted as evidence that the appli-
cant meets those standards. However, a 
medical certificate issued under part 67 
of this chapter is not evidence that the 
applicant meets those standards out-
side the United States unless the State 
that issued the applicant’s foreign 
flight engineer license also accepts 
that medical certificate as evidence of 
the applicant’s physical fitness for his 
foreign flight engineer license. 

(c) 

Ratings issued. Aircraft class rat-

ings listed on the applicant’s foreign 
flight engineer license, in addition to 
any issued to him after testing under 
the provisions of this part, are placed 
on the applicant’s flight engineer cer-
tificate. An applicant without an air-
craft class rating on his foreign flight 
engineer license may be issued a class 
rating if he shows that he currently 
meets the requirements for exercising 
the privileges of his foreign flight engi-
neer license on that class of aircraft. 

(d) 

Privileges and limitations. The hold-

er of a flight engineer certificate issued 
under this section may act as a flight 
engineer of a civil aircraft of U.S. reg-
istry subject to the limitations of this 
part and any additional limitations 
placed on his certificate by the Admin-
istrator. He is subject to these limita-
tions while he is acting as a flight engi-
neer of the aircraft within or outside 
the United States. However, he may 
not act as flight engineer or in any 
other capacity as a required flight 
crewmember, of a civil aircraft of U.S. 
registry that is carrying persons or 
property for compensation or hire. 

(e) 

Renewal of certificate and ratings. 

The holder of a certificate issued under 
this section may have that certificate
