14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

§ 125.265 

multiple functions at the same time by 
one airman. 

(c) On each flight requiring a flight 

engineer, at least one flight crew-
member, other than the flight engi-
neer, must be qualified to provide 
emergency performance of the flight 
engineer’s functions for the safe com-
pletion of the flight if the flight engi-
neer becomes ill or is otherwise inca-
pacitated. A pilot need not hold a 
flight engineer’s certificate to perform 
the flight engineer’s functions in such 
a situation. 

§ 125.265 Flight engineer require-

ments. 

(a) No person may operate an air-

plane for which a flight engineer is re-
quired by the type certification re-
quirements without a flight crew-
member holding a current flight engi-
neer certificate. 

(b) No person may serve as a required 

flight engineer on an airplane unless, 
within the preceding 6 calendar 
months, that person has had at least 50 
hours of flight time as a flight engineer 
on that type airplane, or the Adminis-
trator has checked that person on that 
type airplane and determined that per-
son is familiar and competent with all 
essential current information and oper-
ating procedures. 

§ 125.267 Flight navigator and long- 

range navigation equipment. 

(a) No certificate holder may operate 

an airplane outside the 48 
conterminous States and the District 
of Columbia when its position cannot 
be reliably fixed for a period of more 
than 1 hour, without— 

(1) A flight crewmember who holds a 

current flight navigator certificate; or 

(2) Two independent, properly func-

tioning, and approved long-range 
means of navigation which enable a re-
liable determination to be made of the 
position of the airplane by each pilot 
seated at that person’s duty station. 

(b) Operations where a flight navi-

gator or long-range navigation equip-
ment, or both, are required are speci-
fied in the operations specifications of 
the operator. 

§ 125.269 Flight attendants. 

(a) Each certificate holder shall pro-

vide at least the following flight at-
tendants on each passenger-carrying 
airplane used: 

(1) For airplanes having more than 19 

but less than 51 passengers—one flight 
attendant. 

(2) For airplanes having more than 50 

but less than 101 passengers—two flight 
attendants. 

(3) For airplanes having more than 

100 passengers—two flight attendants 
plus one additional flight attendant for 
each unit (or part of a unit) of 50 pas-
sengers above 100 passengers. 

(b) The number of flight attendants 

approved under paragraphs (a) and (b) 
of this section are set forth in the cer-
tificate holder’s operations specifica-
tions. 

(c) During takeoff and landing, flight 

attendants required by this section 
shall be located as near as practicable 
to required floor level exits and shall 
be uniformly distributed throughout 
the airplane to provide the most effec-
tive egress of passengers in event of an 
emergency evacuation. 

§ 125.271 Emergency and emergency 

evacuation duties. 

(a) Each certificate holder shall, for 

each type and model of airplane, assign 
to each category of required crew-
member, as appropriate, the necessary 
functions to be performed in an emer-
gency or a situation requiring emer-
gency evacuation. The certificate hold-
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. 

(b) The certificate holder shall de-

scribe in its manual the functions of 
each category of required crew-
members under paragraph (a) of this 
section.
