tificate with an instrument rating and,

(2) The instrument proficiency check
must be given by an authorized check
airman or by the Administrator.
(d) If the pilot in command is as-
signed to pilot only one type of air-
plane, that pilot must take the instru-
ment proficiency check required by
paragraph (a) of this section in that
type of airplane.
(e) If the pilot in command is as-
signed to pilot more than one type of
airplane, that pilot must take the in-
strument proficiency check required by

type of airplane to which that pilot is
assigned, in rotation, but not more
than one flight check during each pe-

§ 125.293 Crewmember: Tests and
checks, grace provisions, accepted
standards.
(a) If a crewmember who is required
to take a test or a flight check under
this part completes the test or flight
check in the calendar month before or
after the calendar month in which it is
required, that crewmember is consid-
ered to have completed the test or
check in the calendar month in which

(b) If a pilot being checked under this
subpart fails any of the required ma-

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 certificate holder may
not use the pilot, nor may the pilot
serve, in the capacity for which the
pilot is being checked in operations
under this part until the pilot has sat-
isfactorily completed the check.

Application and issue.
Each certificate holder desiring FAA
approval of a check airman shall sub-
mit a request in writing to the respon-
sible Flight Standards office charged
with the overall inspection of the cer-
tificate holder. The Administrator may
issue a letter of authority to each
check airman if that airman passes the
appropriate oral and flight test. The
letter of authority lists the tests and
checks in this part that the check air-
man is qualified to give, and the cat-
egory, class and type airplane, where
appropriate, for which the check air-
man is qualified.
