(7)
Training center. An organization
governed by the applicable require-
ments of part 142 of this chapter that
conducts training, testing, and check-
ing under contract or other arrange-
ment to program managers subject to
the requirements of this subpart.
(8)
Requalification training. The train-
ing required for crewmembers pre-
viously trained and qualified, but who
have become unqualified because of not
having met within the required period
any of the following:
(i) Recurrent crewmember training
requirements of § 91.1107.
(ii) Instrument proficiency check re-
quirements of § 91.1069.
(iii) Testing requirements of § 91.1065.
(iv) Recurrent flight attendant test-
ing requirements of § 91.1067.
§ 91.1065
Initial and recurrent pilot
testing requirements.
(a) No program manager or owner
may use a pilot, nor may any person
serve as a pilot, unless, since the begin-
ning of the 12th month before that
service, that pilot has passed either a
written or oral test (or a combination),
given by the Administrator or an au-
thorized check pilot, on that pilot’s
knowledge in the following areas—
(1) The appropriate provisions of
parts 61 and 91 of this chapter and the
management specifications and the op-
erating manual of the program man-
ager;
(2) For each type of aircraft to be
flown by the pilot, the aircraft power-
plant, major components and systems,
major appliances, performance and op-
erating limitations, standard and
emergency operating procedures, and
the contents of the accepted operating
manual or equivalent, as applicable;
(3) For each type of aircraft to be
flown by the pilot, the method of deter-
mining compliance with weight and
balance limitations for takeoff, landing
and en route operations;
(4) Navigation and use of air naviga-
tion aids appropriate to the operation
or pilot authorization, including, when
applicable, instrument approach facili-
ties and procedures;
(5) Air traffic control procedures, in-
cluding IFR procedures when applica-
ble;
(6) Meteorology in general, including
the principles of frontal systems, icing,
fog, thunderstorms, and windshear,
and, if appropriate for the operation of
the program manager, high altitude
weather;
(7) Procedures for—
(i) Recognizing and avoiding severe
weather situations;
(ii) Escaping from severe weather sit-
uations, in case of inadvertent encoun-
ters, including low-altitude windshear
(except that rotorcraft aircraft pilots
are not required to be tested on escap-
ing from low-altitude windshear); and
(iii) Operating in or near thunder-
storms (including best penetration al-
titudes), turbulent air (including clear
air turbulence), icing, hail, and other
potentially hazardous meteorological
conditions; and
(8) New equipment, procedures, or
techniques, as appropriate.
(b) No program manager or owner
may use a pilot, nor may any person
serve as a pilot, in any aircraft unless,
since the beginning of the 12th month
before that service, that pilot has
passed a competency check given by
the Administrator or an authorized
check pilot in that class of aircraft, if
single-engine aircraft other than tur-
bojet, or that type of aircraft, if rotor-
craft, multiengine aircraft, or turbojet
airplane, to determine the pilot’s com-
petence in practical skills and tech-
niques in that aircraft or class of air-
craft. The extent of the competency
check will be determined by the Ad-
ministrator or authorized check pilot
conducting the competency check. The
competency check may include any of
the maneuvers and procedures cur-
rently required for the original
issuance of the particular pilot certifi-
cate required for the operations au-
thorized and appropriate to the cat-
egory, class and type of aircraft in-
volved. For the purposes of this para-
graph, type, as to an airplane, means
any one of a group of airplanes deter-
mined by the Administrator to have a
similar means of propulsion, the same
manufacturer, and no significantly dif-
ferent handling or flight characteris-
tics. For the purposes of this para-
graph, type, as to a rotorcraft, means a
basic make and model.
