§ 61.67

the pilot is conducting an EFVS oper-
ation for that program manager under
part 91, provided the pilot is con-
ducting the operation in accordance
with the program manager’s manage-
ment specifications for EFVS oper-
ations.

(4) The requirements of paragraphs

(a) and (b) of this section do not apply
if a person is conducting EFVS oper-
ations under § 91.176(b) of this chapter
and that person documents that prior
to March 13, 2018, that person satisfac-
torily completed ground and flight
training on EFVS operations to 100 feet
above the touchdown zone elevation.

§ 61.67

Category II pilot authorization

requirements.

(a)

General. A person who applies for

a Category II pilot authorization must
hold:

(1) At least a private or commercial

pilot certificate with an instrument
rating or an airline transport pilot cer-
tificate;

(2) A type rating for the aircraft for

which the authorization is sought if
that aircraft requires a type rating;
and

(3) A category and class rating for

the aircraft for which the authoriza-
tion is sought.

(b)

Experience requirements. An appli-

cant for a Category II pilot authoriza-
tion must have at least—

(1) 50 hours of night flight time as

pilot in command.

(2) 75 hours of instrument time under

actual or simulated instrument condi-
tions that may include not more
than—

(i) A combination of 25 hours of simu-

lated instrument flight time in a flight
simulator or flight training device; or

(ii) 40 hours of simulated instrument

flight time if accomplished in an ap-
proved course conducted by an appro-
priately rated training center certifi-
cated under part 142 of this chapter.

(3) 250 hours of cross-country flight

time as pilot in command.

(c)

Practical test requirements. (1) A

practical test must be passed by a per-
son who applies for—

(i) Issuance or renewal of a Category

II pilot authorization; and

(ii) The addition of another type air-

craft to the applicant’s Category II
pilot authorization.

(2) To be eligible for the practical

test for an authorization under this
section, an applicant must—

(i) Meet the requirements of para-

graphs (a) and (b) of this section; and

(ii) If the applicant has not passed a

practical test for this authorization
during the 12 calendar months pre-
ceding the month of the test, then that
person must—

(A) Meet the requirements of

§ 61.57(c); and

(B) Have performed at least six ILS

approaches during the 6 calendar
months preceding the month of the
test, of which at least three of the ap-
proaches must have been conducted
without the use of an approach coupler.

(3) The approaches specified in para-

graph (c)(2)(ii)(B) of this section—

(i) Must be conducted under actual or

simulated instrument flight condi-
tions;

(ii) Must be conducted to the decision

height for the ILS approach in the type
aircraft in which the practical test is
to be conducted;

(iii) Need not be conducted to the de-

cision height authorized for Category
II operations;

(iv) Must be conducted to the deci-

sion height authorized for Category II
operations only if conducted in a flight
simulator or flight training device; and

(v) Must be accomplished in an air-

craft of the same category and class,
and type, as applicable, as the aircraft
in which the practical test is to be con-
ducted or in a flight simulator that—

(A) Represents an aircraft of the

same category and class, and type, as
applicable, as the aircraft in which the
authorization is sought; and

(B) Is used in accordance with an ap-

proved course conducted by a training
center certificated under part 142 of
this chapter.

(4) The flight time acquired in meet-

ing the requirements of paragraph
(c)(2)(ii)(B) of this section may be used
to meet the requirements of paragraph
(c)(2)(ii)(A) of this section.

§ 61.68

(d)

Practical test procedures. The prac-

tical test consists of an oral increment
and a flight increment.

(1)

Oral increment. In the oral incre-

ment of the practical test an applicant
must demonstrate knowledge of the
following:

(i) Required landing distance;
(ii) Recognition of the decision

height;

(iii) Missed approach procedures and

techniques using computed or fixed at-
titude guidance displays;

(iv) Use and limitations of RVR;
(v) Use of visual clues, their avail-

ability or limitations, and altitude at
which they are normally discernible at
reduced RVR readings;

(vi) Procedures and techniques re-

lated to transition from nonvisual to
visual flight during a final approach
under reduced RVR;

(vii) Effects of vertical and hori-

zontal windshear;

(viii) Characteristics and limitations

of the ILS and runway lighting system;

(ix) Characteristics and limitations

of the flight director system, auto ap-
proach coupler (including split axis
type if equipped), auto throttle system
(if equipped), and other required Cat-
egory II equipment;

(x) Assigned duties of the second in

command during Category II ap-
proaches, unless the aircraft for which
authorization is sought does not re-
quire a second in command; and

(xi) Instrument and equipment fail-

ure warning systems.

(2)

Flight increment. The following re-

quirements apply to the flight incre-
ment of the practical test:

(i) The flight increment must be con-

ducted in an aircraft of the same cat-
egory, class, and type, as applicable, as
the aircraft in which the authorization
is sought or in a flight simulator
that—

(A) Represents an aircraft of the

same category and class, and type, as
applicable, as the aircraft in which the
authorization is sought; and

(B) Is used in accordance with an ap-

proved course conducted by a training
center certificated under part 142 of
this chapter.

(ii) The flight increment must con-

sist of at least two ILS approaches to

100 feet AGL including at least one
landing and one missed approach.

(iii) All approaches performed during

the flight increment must be made
with the use of an approved flight con-
trol guidance system, except if an ap-
proved auto approach coupler is in-
stalled, at least one approach must be
hand flown using flight director com-
mands.

(iv) If a multiengine airplane with

the performance capability to execute
a missed approach with one engine in-
operative is used for the practical test,
the flight increment must include the
performance of one missed approach
with an engine, which shall be the
most critical engine, if applicable, set
at idle or zero thrust before reaching
the middle marker.

(v) If a multiengine flight simulator

or multiengine flight training device is
used for the practical test, the appli-
cant must execute a missed approach
with the most critical engine, if appli-
cable, failed.

(vi) For an authorization for an air-

craft that requires a type rating, the
practical test must be performed in co-
ordination with a second in command
who holds a type rating in the aircraft
in which the authorization is sought.

(vii) Oral questioning may be con-

ducted at any time during a practical
test.
