current flight navigator certificate; or 

(2) Two independent, properly func-

er shall show those functions are real-
istic, can be practically accomplished, 
and will meet any reasonably antici-
pated emergency, including the pos-
sible incapacitation of individual crew-
members or their inability to reach the 
passenger cabin because of shifting 
cargo in combination cargo-passenger 
airplanes.
