EQUIREMENTS

 

(a) The Mitsubishi MU–2B Training Pro-

gram consists of both ground and flight 
training. The minimum pilot training re-
quirement hours are shown in Table 1 of this 
appendix for ground instruction and Table 2 
of this appendix for flight instruction. An ad-
ditional ground training requirement for Dif-
ferences Training is shown in Table 3. 

(b) The MU–2B is certificated by the Fed-

eral Aviation Administration (FAA) as a sin-
gle pilot airplane. No training credit is given 
for second in command (SIC) training and no 
credit is given for right seat time under this 
program. Only the sole manipulator of the 
controls of the MU–2B airplane, Flight 
Training Device (FTD), or Level C or D simu-
lator can receive training credit under this 
program. 

(c) The training program references the ap-

plicable MU–2B airplane flight manual 
(AFM) in several sections. There may be dif-
ferences between sequencing of procedures 
found in the AFM’s procedures sections and 
the checklists, procedures, and techniques 
found within this training program. The 
FAA’s Mitsubishi MU–2B SFAR requires that 
if there are any differences between the 
AFM’s procedures sections (Normal, Abnor-
mal, and Emergency) and the training and 
operating requirements of the Mitsubishi 
MU–2B SFAR, the person operating the air-
plane must operate the airplane in accord-
ance with the training specified in the SFAR 
and this MU–2B training program.
