§ 91.1073 

power settings, stall speeds, best en-
gine-out speed, propeller and super-
charger operations, and hydraulic, me-
chanical, and electrical systems, as ap-
propriate. The flight check includes 
navigation by instruments, recovery 
from simulated emergencies, and 
standard instrument approaches in-
volving navigational facilities which 
that pilot is to be authorized to use. 

(e) Each pilot taking the instrument 

proficiency check must show that 
standard of competence required by 
§ 91.1065(d). 

(1) The instrument proficiency check 

must— 

(i) For a pilot in command of an air-

craft requiring that the PIC hold an 
airline transport pilot certificate, in-
clude the procedures and maneuvers for 
an airline transport pilot certificate in 
the particular type of aircraft, if appro-
priate; and 

(ii) For a pilot in command of a 

rotorcraft or a second in command of 
any aircraft requiring that the SIC 
hold a commercial pilot certificate in-
clude the procedures and maneuvers for 
a commercial pilot certificate with an 
instrument rating and, if required, for 
the appropriate type rating. 

(2) The instrument proficiency check 

must be given by an authorized check 
pilot or by the Administrator. 

(f) If the pilot is assigned to pilot 

only one type of aircraft, that pilot 
must take the instrument proficiency 
check required by paragraph (a) of this 
section in that type of aircraft. 

(g) If the pilot in command is as-

signed to pilot more than one type of 
aircraft, that pilot must take the in-
strument proficiency check required by 
paragraph (a) of this section in each 
type of aircraft to which that pilot is 
assigned, in rotation, but not more 
than one flight check during each pe-
riod described in paragraph (a) of this 
section. 

(h) If the pilot in command is as-

signed to pilot both single-engine and 
multiengine aircraft, that pilot must 
initially take the instrument pro-
ficiency check required by paragraph 
(a) of this section in a multiengine air-
craft, and each succeeding check alter-
nately in single-engine and multien-
gine aircraft, but not more than one 

flight check during each period de-
scribed in paragraph (a) of this section. 

(i) All or portions of a required flight 

check may be given in an aircraft sim-
ulator or other appropriate training de-
vice, if approved by the Administrator. 

§ 91.1071

Crewmember: Tests and 

checks, grace provisions, training 
to accepted standards. 

(a) If a crewmember who is required 

to take a test or a flight check under 
this subpart, completes the test or 
flight check in the month before or 
after the month in which it is required, 
that crewmember is considered to have 
completed the test or check in the 
month in which it is required. 

(b) If a pilot being checked under this 

subpart fails any of the required ma-
neuvers, the person giving the check 
may give additional training to the 
pilot during the course of the check. In 
addition to repeating the maneuvers 
failed, the person giving the check may 
require the pilot being checked to re-
peat any other maneuvers that are nec-
essary to determine the pilot’s pro-
ficiency. If the pilot being checked is 
unable to demonstrate satisfactory 
performance to the person conducting 
the check, the program manager may 
not use the pilot, nor may the pilot 
serve, as a flight crewmember in oper-
ations under this subpart until the 
pilot has satisfactorily completed the 
check. If a pilot who demonstrates un-
satisfactory performance is employed 
as a pilot for a certificate holder oper-
ating under part 121, 125, or 135 of this 
chapter, he or she must notify that cer-
tificate holder of the unsatisfactory 
performance. 

§ 91.1073

Training program: General. 

(a) Each program manager must have 

a training program and must: 

(1) Establish, obtain the appropriate 

initial and final approval of, and pro-
vide a training program that meets 
this subpart and that ensures that each 
crewmember, including each flight at-
tendant if the program manager uses a 
flight attendant crewmember, flight 
instructor, check pilot, and each per-
son assigned duties for the carriage and 
handling of hazardous materials (as de-
fined in 49 CFR 171.8) is adequately
