The above subjects, except Theory of

Flight and Aerodynamics, and Regulations
must apply to the same type of airplane in
which the student flight engineer is to re-
ceive flight training.

(3) Flight Course Outline. (i) The flight

training curriculum must include at least 10
hours of flight instruction in an airplane
specified in § 63.37(a). The flight time re-
quired for the practical test may not be cred-
ited as part of the required flight instruc-
tion.

(ii) All of the flight training must be given

in the same type airplane.

(iii) As appropriate to the airplane type,

the following subjects must be taught in the
flight training course:

UBJECT

NORMAL DUTIES

PROCEDURES AND OPERATIONS

To include as appropriate:

Airplane preflight.
Engine starting, power checks, pretakeoff,

postlanding and shut-down procedures.

Power control.
Temperature control.
Engine operation analysis.
Operation of all systems.
Fuel management.
Logbook entries.
Pressurization and air conditioning.

RECOGNITION AND CORRECTION OF IN

FLIGHT

MALFUNCTIONS

To include:

Analysis of abnormal engine operation.
Analysis of abnormal operation of all sys-

tems.

Corrective action.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS IN FLIGHT

To include as appropriate:

Engine fire control.
Fuselage fire control.
Smoke control.
Loss of power or pressure in each system.
Engine overspeed.
Fuel dumping.
Landing gear, spoilers, speed brakes, and

flap extension and retraction.

Engine shut-down and restart.
Use of oxygen.
(iv) If the Administrator finds a simulator

or flight engineer training device to accu-
rately reproduce the design, function, and
control characteristics, as pertaining to the
duties and responsibilities of a flight engi-
neer on the type of airplane to be flown, the
flight training time may be reduced by a
ratio of 1 hour of flight time to 2 hours of
airplane simulator time, or 3 hours of flight
engineer training device time, as the case
may be, subject to the following limitations:

(

a) Except as provided in subdivision (b) of

this paragraph, the required flight instruc-
tion time in an airplane may not be less than
5 hours.

(

b) As to a flight engineer student holding

at least a commercial pilot certificate with
an instrument rating, airplane simulator or
a combination of airplane simulator and
flight engineer training device time may be
submitted for up to all 10 hours of the re-
quired flight instruction time in an airplane.
However, not more than 15 hours of flight en-
gineer training device time may be sub-
stituted for flight instruction time.

(v) To obtain credit for flight training

time, airplane simulator time, or flight engi-
neer training device time, the student must
