to conduct operations under part 121 of 
this chapter, a temporary document 
provided by that certificate holder

medical certificate issued to that per-
son under part 67 of this chapter, or 
other documentation acceptable to the 
FAA, that is in that person’s physical 
possession or readily accessible in the

(c) When the aircraft is operated 

within a foreign country, a current 
flight engineer certificate issued by the 
country in which the aircraft is oper-
ated, with evidence of current medical 
qualification for that certificate, may 
be used. Also, in the case of a flight en-
gineer certificate issued under § 63.42,

tion accepted for the issue of that cer-
tificate is used in place of a medical 
certificate.

igator of a civil aircraft of U.S. reg-
istry unless that person has in his or 
her physical possession a current flight 
navigator certificate issued to him or 
her under this part and a second-class 
(or higher) medical certificate issued 
to him or her under part 67 of this 
chapter within the preceding 12 
months. However, when the aircraft is 
operated within a foreign country, a 
current flight navigator certificate 
issued by the country in which the air-
craft is operated, with evidence of cur-
rent medical qualification for that cer-
tificate, may be used. 

(e) Each person who holds a flight en-

gineer or flight navigator certificate, 
medical certificate, or temporary docu-
ment in accordance with paragraph 
(a)(3) of this section shall present it for 
inspection upon the request of the Ad-
ministrator or an authorized represent-
ative of the National Transportation 
Safety Board, or of any Federal, State, 
or local law enforcement officer.
